Discover the exotic beauty of Hibiscus syriacus, more commonly known as the Rose of Sharon or Althea. This vigorous, vase-shaped, deciduous shrub offers large, showy flowers that resemble hollyhock blossoms, blooming continuously from midsummer to fall to fill your garden in a riot of color. Coming in shades of purple, red, pink and white, with sometimes a darker throat color, these flowers adorn the shrub until late in the season, providing a vital attribute in most gardens. With easy care needs that include full sun to part shade and a preference for average, well-drained soils, the Rose of Sharon flowers every year with minimal attention needed. Despite its regal appearance, this hardy shrub tolerates drought, urban conditions, heat and humidity, and even resists most pests and diseases. With potential heights of up to 8-12 ft. and a spread of 6-10 ft., this plant is ideal for creating dramatic summer blooms in shrub borders, foundation plantings, hedges, or screens. Native to China, India, and East Asia, and available in a range of colors, this easy-to-grow shrub is a perfect addition to any garden yearning for an exotic touch.
