Shrubs and Enderlein Roses

Rose of Sharon
Add an exotic touch to your garden!

June 2009

Rose of Sharon or hardy Hibiscus are truly gorgeous plants and really add an exotic touch to a garden. They are heat loving woody shrubs in the Mallow family, with large saucer shaped flowers. This year, due to popular demand we have some beautiful pink beauties for sale. Rose of Sharon Rose Satin is a strong growing, upright plant with large, single rose pink flowers with ruffled edges. Rose Satin will flower late summer and into the fall, offering colour and interest to the garden just when you need it! Be aware that Rose of Sharon is a zone 5 plant so in this area will need a sheltered, full sun location, next to a building is ideal.

In the fall protect by mulching with compost or leaves. In the spring they are very late to bud out so be patient and do not prune as you may end up cutting off the flower buds which develop on new growth. Ultimately, Rose of Sharon Rose Satin can grow to 8 feet in height, but this will take a while. A gorgeous plant, well worth a prime spot in your garden!
