Hibiscus syriacus Purple Satin® (Rose of Sharon) is a bushy deciduous shrub of graceful habit, noted for its deep purple, single flowers adorned with a prominent red eye. Blooming continuously from midsummer to fall, each flower lasts about one day and stands out against the green foliage of broadly ovate leaves. A very useful, structural shrub for the back of the border.

• Typically grows up to 8-12 ft. tall (240-360 cm) with a spread of 6-8 ft. (180-240 cm). Produces few to no seeeds - low maintenance!
• A full sun lover, this plant is best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Prefers moist, organically rich soils, but tolerates poor soils. Tolerant of drought, salt, heat and humidity.
• Fairly pest and disease free. Watch for aphids, mealybugs and thrips. Deer resistant.
• Plant in shrub borders for dramatic summer blooms. Great flowering shrub for foundation plantings, hedges or screens.
• Prune to shape in spring. Pruning back to 2-3 buds in late winter may produce bigger blooms.
• Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings
