Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a beautiful hibiscus that can be grown in many climates, where we enjoy its beauty during the summertime. The flowers of the most common variety are 2 to 3 inches and pink with a cherry-red throat. They are edible and also make excellent cut flowers. Native to much of Asia, it is the national flower of Korea. Achieving a height of up to 10 feet, it can spread 4 to 6 feet. Most varieties sport small, lobed, light green leaves.
Rose of Sharon's primary asset. It can be planted and pruned into a hedge, which can be so stunning it might just stop traffic if you live on a busy street. Bees love this flower too, so it's a good pollen plant and an excellent addition to a bird and butterfly garden. It is drought tolerant, so if you live in a dry area with warm Common varieties include Diana, Lady Stanley, Ardens, Lucy, Minerva and Blushing Bride. Some varieties produce white flowers; others can be red, lavender or pink.
