Rose of Sharon 'Ardens', Shrub Althea 'Ardens'
Hibiscus syriacus ‘Ardens’ (Rose of Sharon) is a compact, bushy, deciduous shrub noted for its ravishing lilac-pink double flowers adorned with darker veins in their center. Blooming profusely and reliably from early summer to fall, each flower lasts about one day and stands out against the foliage of maple-like, deeply toothed, green leaves. Stiffly upright with a vase shape, this Rose of Sharon is perfect for screens, hedges, borders, or specimen planting.
