Rose of Sharon Hibiscus Seeds - Perennial Hardy Shrub, Pink & Purple Flowers
I found my first hibiscus by accident and was absolutely thrilled! I think a former owner had planted them, and now every summer they feel like little treasures waiting to surprise me. Their bold blooms seemed to arrive out of nowhere, like fireworks on green stems, and I’ve been enchanted ever since.
About:
Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a hardy, perennial shrub treasured for its stunning tropical-looking flowers and easy-going nature. Unlike tropical hibiscus, these thrive in cooler climates and return year after year. They bloom in mid-to-late summer, just when most other flowers are fading, making them a star of the late garden. Flowers come in shades of pink and purple with dramatic centers, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. A versatile plant, Rose of Sharon makes a beautiful hedge, privacy screen, or a single specimen tree to brighten the yard.
