Hardy Hibiscus Purple Pillar® (Hibiscus syriacus)

Blooming from mid-summer to early fall, this attractive Hardy Hibiscus Purple Pillar® has an upright columnar growth habit and can be used as a living screen in the landscape. It grows up to 10’ tall and 2-3’ wide. The semi-double flowers have lavender petals with a red central eye and need full sun to maximize the bloom potential. It attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds to the garden. Also called Rose of Sharon.
Special note: Hardy Hibiscus die back to the ground every fall and the plant doesn’t re-emerge until late spring, usually by the end of May or early June.
