Care information
Full sun (6+ hours/day)
Any well-drained soil will do.
Average water needs; drought tolerant once established.
Rose of Sharon benefits from annual fertilization. Once a year in early spring is sufficient, thought it may be fertilized monthly through late summer if desired.
Pruning is not required to maintain its unique habit. May be trimmed, pruned, or shaped as desired in early spring.
There’s really nothing like it – Purple Pillar® rose of Sharon is the first columnar hibiscus.
A very fastigiate selection
Purple Pillar hibiscus brings the durable, easy growth of rose of Sharon to narrow spaces. Use this columnar plant for hedges or screens; it provides showy summer color for tight sites. The flowers are large and semi-doubled. Like other H. syriacus, this adaptable plant will tolerate black walnut and clay soils.
