Rose of Sharon Flower

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a deciduous hibiscus species that produces abundant showy blooms in the summer and fall. The five-petal, paper-like flowers come in an array of colors (including bicolors) that reach 3" in diameter. Blooms have a prominent stamen and often a dark colored throat. This flowering shrub only requires regular watering and feeding when it's young. As it matures, it becomes a low maintenance option that is drought and heat-tolerant, easily adaptable to poor soil and urban conditions, and can live up to 20 to 30 years.
