Transport yourself to the tropics with hardy hibiscus! Adorned with large, colorful flowers that bloom continuously from midsummer into fall, the improved cultivars of Hibiscus syriacus that we offer as small trees share little resemblance to Grandma’s ho-hum garden shrubs.
Best known as Rose of Sharon or Rose Mallow, these landscape showstoppers excel in garden plantings as solo specimens, hedges and small-scale alleés for lining a sidewalk or driveway. Not too big and not too small, these petite, easy-care trees are a great fit for container, courtyard, patio or deck. They’re a great fit for planting beneath utility lines, too. With seven cultivars to choose from, you’re sure to find just the right combination of color, texture and form to suit your landscape needs.
The “Chiffon” series of Rose of Sharon, presented by Proven Winners®, offers a choice of pink, white, lavender and blue flowers. With alluring names like Bali™, Tahiti™ and Fiji™, the voluptuous blooms of First Editions® hardy hibiscus conjure up visions of South Sea islands. All are hardy through USDA Zone 5 and reach a height and spread of approximately 12’ x 8’.
