Bring late-summer color to your landscape with Hibiscus × 'Paraplu Violet®' (Rose of Sharon 'Paraplu Violet®'). You get large, vivid violet-purple blooms that open over many weeks, lining the stems on a naturally upright, vase-shaped shrub.

Plant it where you can enjoy the flowers up close: near an entry, along a fence, or as a standout in a mixed border. In time it typically reaches about 60-96 inches tall, with a mature spread around 48-60 inches, giving you a substantial yet manageable shrub for screening or seasonal privacy.

For best flowering, give it full sun, though it will also grow in part shade. Provide average moisture as it establishes, then water during prolonged dry spells. It adapts to many soil types as long as drainage is reasonable; add mulch to help conserve moisture and reduce stress during hot weather.

Pruning is optional. If you want to shape the plant or encourage fresh flowering stems, prune in early spring before new growth begins. Blooms form on new wood, so you can tidy or thin without sacrificing the summer display. The flowers also help support pollinators, making it a strong choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
