If you want late-season color on a tough, upright shrub, Hibiscus syriacus 'Starblast Chiffon™' (Rose of Sharon 'Starblast Chiffon™') delivers with showy, double flowers that read white from a distance and up close reveal pink-red veining and a glowing eye.

Plant it where you can enjoy the long bloom window of summer into early fall. Give it full sun for the best flowering, but it will also grow in part shade. This is a multi-stem shrub with a strong, vertical presence, making it useful as a seasonal screen, back-of-border anchor, or a focal plant near patios and walkways.

Expect a mature size of about 96-144 inches tall with a spread of 60-96 inches. Space plants so air can move through the stems, and keep mulch a few inches back from the base. Water deeply during establishment, then keep moisture even during prolonged dry spells for consistent bud set and bloom quality.

Prune in late winter to early spring, before new growth takes off. Remove dead wood, thin crowded stems, and shape as needed. You can lightly tip-prune during the growing season to encourage branching, but avoid hard pruning once buds are forming if you want maximum flowers.

In colder parts of its range, protect roots with a winter mulch layer after the ground freezes, and be patient in spring, as it can leaf out later than many shrubs. With basic care and good light, you will get a reliable summer show year after year.
