Althea (Rose Of Sharon White)

The Rose of Sharon is a deciduous shrub that is beloved by our customers. This captivating plant sports a luxurious abundance of colorful flowers; the four inch blooms come in a large array of colors, including white, mauve tones, red, and light blue. Flowers are certainly a selling point for the Rose of Sharon. Not only are they profuse and vibrant, but they also bloom in the summer leaving them in a state of beauty when the flowers of other shrubs have long since receded into long-ago memories. While it blooms later than others, its leaves also aren’t produced until slightly later.

The Rose of Sharon achieves a height generally in the 8-10 foot range, and spreads out 4-6 feet. This shrub lends itself to many different shapes. While it naturally grows multi-stemmed, pruning can train the Rose into a single trunk shrub. This versatility in shape makes it an ideal choice for hedges, though with its deciduous nature it does not afford much privacy except in summer. The Rose of Sharon loves to be in full sun and well-drained soil, it is fairly tolerant to drought and with its immense love of sun and heat, the Rose of Sharon is particularly prized in the southern USA for its ability to thrive and provide color in a challenging climate.
