Rose of Sharon Young Shrubs

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a stunning deciduous hibiscus species (perennial) that brings beauty to any garden with its abundant blooms. Flowers bloom from midsummer into fall. The young plants I am offering currently range from 2 to 4 feet tall. These tall flowering shrubs grow quickly and usually grow to be 6 to 8 feet tall. I have limited pots so please bring a larger pot or sack if you can. These five-petal, paper-like flowers come in various colors, including bi-colors, and can reach up to 3" in diameter. I have 2 colours: purple with red centers and pink with red or fushia centres. They feature a prominent stamen and often a dark-colored throat. Please see the pictures in my ad. Rose of Sharon is a low-maintenance flowering shrub that becomes drought and heat-tolerant as it matures, easily adapting to poor soil and urban conditions. Now is a good time to transplant this shrub. PLANTING & CARING FOR YOUR ROSE OF SHARON: How to plant: Follow these steps as part of a successful rose of Sharon planting guide.
