Who’s not familiar with rose of Sharon? A staple in older gardens and rural farmsteads, does it still have a place in today’s modern spaces? Yes! Fortunately, thanks to a number of improvements, there’s more to choose from than ever, including dwarf varieties and better flowers.
Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus or Althaea syriacus) has been gracing American yards and farmsteads for generations. Its very staying power over the years says it all for ease of cultivation, excellent longevity and valued late season color.
