Sugar Tip® Rose of Sharon

The first variegated rose of Sharon whose blooms actually open, this is a charming addition to mixed borders and perennial gardens. The cotton-candy flowers are doubled, and seedless so they will not produce unwanted seedlings. Like other H. syriacus, this adaptable plant will tolerate black walnut and clay soils.
