Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a beautiful species of hibiscus native to Eastern Asia. It is a late-flowering shrub that puts on a dazzling display of showy trumpet-shaped flowers in July and August.
The flowering shrub can be a very low-maintenance option for the backyard, as it is both drought and heat-tolerant. Pruning is not always essential but is recommended, as a rose of Sharon is a fast grower and can be kept healthy and in shape through trimming.
