Hibiscus, Purple Pillar® Rose of Sharon Hibiscus
Tall, thin and beautiful, with a uniquely fastigiate habit. Naturally grows as a narrow column instead of a wide, spreading plant. It gets to be just 2-3′ (.6-.9 m) wide and 10-16′ tall! In summer, each stem is packed along its entire length with purple blooms.
Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
- The narrow habit of Purple Pillar rose of Sharon means it creates few to no branches, so little to no pruning is required.
- If you want to prune it, do so in early spring.
- In areas that experience snow fall, avoid planting it where it might be dumped on by snow falling off of the roof – yours, or your neighbors.
