About Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus Seed
Mid to late summer, when few other shrubs are flowering, is when this old-fashioned flowering shrub bursts into bloom. Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) bears big, hibiscus-style flowers with contrasting centers on an upright, vase-shaped frame that works well as a hedge, screen or cottage garden accent. This seed comes from parents with mixed flower colors, so expect a cheerful range of purple, lavender, pink and white blooms that keep coming until fall.
