Hibiscus syriacus 'Purple Pillar®' (PP25,568)
Hibiscus are very useful for the mid summer to early fall bloom. Tolerant of a wide variety of soils except very wet or very dry sites. May self sow.
Pruning can be done in late spring. If desired (but usually not necessary) Rose of Sharon can be heavily pruned by removing undesired stems at ground level. Shaping is okay when desired.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
We use custom, earth-friendly packaging to make sure your order arrives in great condition, and we ship based on the best planting time for your growing zone (see the approximate dates below), unless otherwise indicated at checkout.
