Each flower features a prominent center that attracts pollinators, and the plant continues to flower from midsummer into early fall when many other shrubs have finished blooming. This hardy shrub works well as a flowering hedge, a mixed border accent, or a standalone specimen in the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese starter plants arrive as bare root divisions measuring approximately 12 to 24 inches, ready to be planted and established in the garden. Rose of Sharon is adaptable, tolerates a range of soil conditions, and grows into an upright, vase-shaped shrub that can be pruned to shape or left to naturalize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePink blooms with a contrasting center appear through summer into early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeciduous shrub with an upright, vase-shaped growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks well in hedges, borders, and mixed shrub plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBare root starter plants sized approximately 12 to 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hibiscus syriacus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous flowering shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soil types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; water regularly during establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, vase-shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer into early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically 8 to 12 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 to 6 feet apart for hedges or groupings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant bare root Rose of Sharon in spring or fall while the plant is dormant. Soak the roots briefly before planting, then set the plant in a hole wide enough to spread the roots naturally. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil for best flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help the shrub establish. Once established, Rose of Sharon is fairly drought tolerant. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage vigorous new growth, which produces the summer flowers. A light layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Pink Althea Rose of Sharon Hibiscus bare root plants, each approximately 12 to 24 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739751645494,"sku":"EDNA-184","price":122.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8077822386_96qd.jpg?v=1792115059","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/3-pink-althea-rose-of-sharon-hibiscus-bare-root-plants-12-24-starter-shrub","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
