About this plant

Rose of Sharon is a deciduous shrub that brings showy hibiscus flowers to the garden in summer.

Its upright branches spread gently outwards as it matures, creating an attractive vase-shaped outline.

Best used for

Use in a sunny mixed border or as a flowering focal plant in a sheltered spot.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 20–40 cm per year Medium growth
Expected mature size 2–3 m high / 1.5–2.5 m wide

Expect around 20–40 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 2–3 m in height and 1.5–2.5 m in width. Allow room for an upright, vase-shaped shrub; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed, avoiding heavy routine pruning.

What you will receive

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
