Blushing Bride Rose of Sharon
Hibiscus syriacus ‘Blushing Bride’
Blushing Bride Rose of Sharon is a graceful and late-blooming deciduous shrub that brings a delicate, romantic touch to the summer-to-fall garden. Its beautiful, double flowers are a soft, two-tone blush pink, with the outer petals often a slightly deeper hue than the inner ones, creating a lovely layered effect. A prominent, pale yellow column of stamens adds a cheerful center. Blooming from midsummer into autumn when many other shrubs have finished, its upright, vase-shaped habit makes it an excellent choice for adding height, color, and privacy to borders or as a flowering hedge.
