Aphrodite Hibiscus Rose of Sharon
Hibiscus syriacus ‘Aphrodite’
The Aphrodite Rose of Sharon is a beloved, long-blooming deciduous shrub, prized for its exceptionally large, showy flowers and reliable, upright form. This vigorous cultivar produces an abundance of single, trumpet-shaped blooms in a rich, deep rose-pink with a prominent dark red eye at the center, creating a stunning, jewel-like effect . Flowering from mid-summer through fall, it provides a spectacular display of color when many other shrubs have finished blooming. Its lush, dark green foliage forms a dense, vase-shaped shrub that is adaptable, low-maintenance, and a classic choice for adding late-season beauty to sunny borders, hedges, and foundation plantings.
