Pink Chiffon^® Rose of Sharon Hibiscus syriacus

These plants are fantastic.! I planted three last fall. When Spring came this year they leafed out and started blooming shortly after. I loved the blooms so much that I purchased four more. Likewise they are blooming beautifully and I am very happy with them. They will make a beautiful screen between our neighbors pool and us. We are far enough away that the bloom shedding shouldn’t be a problem for our neighbors. Can’t sing their praises enough. So far I haven’t had a problem with self seeding, but worth pulling out a few sprouts if it should.

I purchased these plants from the Home Depot website on March 21, 2021, they were shipped directly from Proven Winners. These two plants quart size were about six inches high when I received them and I waited until around Memorial Day 2021, to plant them in the ground. They are now about 12 to 15 inches high, one sprig each, no buds, or flowers. They are in a sun to partial shade space in my yard, and have been fertilized last summer and again after Memorial Day this year. I protected them with spikes, mesh deer fence and fall leaves over the winter. Still protected with deer fence. Reading these other reviews makes me think that I received two duds, and am very disappointed. 2 Stars because they are still alive. A Facebook reply stated that it may take 4-6 years to maturity. No where in the online description does it state this. I would have done more hydrangeas, mine are spectacular. And grow from the dead wood and center to about 5 feet high and 5 feet in diameter every year.

I bought 2 of this and based my decision on it being not a prolific seeder. I love the blooms so much and recommended it a lot last year. Imagine my surprise today when I saw about a dozen seedlings under each shrub today. I now debate if I should move them. Beautiful shrub but I hope they don’t seed aggressively.

The best pink Hibiscus variety - clear pink semi-double. The blooms hold their colour well and don't fade as fast as others do. Love it!
