Pink Double Rose of Sharon

Pink Double Rose of Sharon

Hibiscus syriacus

Plant portrait: Layered pink blossoms transform a woody shrub into a succession of soft summer rosettes.

Garden rhythm: Deciduous shrub; summer into fall, sun to part sun, moderate water.

Garden companions: Bees may forage where double petals still permit access; single flowers are generally easier for pollinators. Highly attractive to hummingbirds.

Worth noticing: This is the plant from the massive web connecting Rose of Sharon to flame acanthus—botany already joined to story.
