Purple Pillar(R) rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Purple Pillar(R)') brings tall, narrow structure to sunny beds, entryways, and tight planting spaces. You get a columnar, deciduous shrub with large purple flowers and a neat footprint that works well in hedges, screens, and mixed borders.

For best flowering, plant in full sun; it will also grow in part shade. Provide moist, well-drained soil at planting time and water regularly the first season to establish strong roots. Once established, it handles typical garden conditions and is adaptable to a range of soils.

Expect mature size around 10-16 feet tall with a narrow spread; give each plant enough room so air can move through the stems. Flowers form on new wood, so you can prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage strong new growth before bloom time.

Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, this rose of Sharon is a dependable summer bloomer that adds vertical accent and color without taking over the bed. Pair it with perennials or low shrubs to highlight the upright form and keep the base dressed through the season.
