Paraplu Adorned® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus)

(Rose of Sharon) When looking for Rose of Sharon, typically foliage interest isn't the first thing that comes to mind. That is not the case with Hibiscus Paraplu Adorned®, which features stunning variegated foliage. The foliage emerges in the spring with bright shades of yellow-green, and as the summer goes on, bright green splotches appear. The variegation on the maple leaf looking foliage comes and goes depending on the temperatures. Midsummer lavender flowers with a bright magenta eye emerge and flower until Fall. Standing 8-10 feet tall and spreading 3-4 feet wide, Hibiscus Paraplu Adorned®  forms an upright columnar habit. Hardy in zones 5-8, Rose of Sharon likes to be planted in full sun to part shade locations. This long-blooming shrub starts to flower mid-summer and goes into the Fall. It is a deer-resistant shrub that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden. Blooming on the new growth, if needed, we recommend trimming in the Fall or early spring. Hibiscus Paraplu Adorned® is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Shrub.
