Professional Growing Information 
I purchased 3 of these two years ago, one of each color. I'm a gardener and I have a yard filled with rose of Sharon of different kinds. Planted them in healthy well draining soil with organic microlife. Weekly watering. Central Texas climate which is hot hot hot and dry. I know how to take care of plants. These 3 never grew in 2 years, and stayed about 14" tall. I got one tiny little white bloom on one plant, once in 2 years. I just yanked them out now and composted them.
