About This Plant
Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart' (Rose of Sharon), 'Red Heart', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.
Hardy Hibiscus (H. syriacus / Rose of Sharon) , late summer flowering shrub with showy 4-inch flowers in white, pink, blue, or red. The 'Chiffon' and 'Satin' series are sterile, non-seeding selections.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Slow to leaf out in spring , be patient. Watch for Japanese beetles and aphids. Generally trouble-free.
