Purple Satin® Rose Of Sharon

The Purple Satin® Rose of Sharon is a deciduous shrub that is in bloom from mid-summer until the first frost. Always smothered in blooms, thanks to its inability to create seeds, it’s a valuable shrub for garden beds or for planters and pots. The flowers are deep purple, with a satiny gleam, and the heart of the flower is a deep red star. It grows rapidly, and because it has been bred to be sterile, seed-production doesn’t block flowering, which keeps on coming and coming without a pause.

• Rich purple blooms with dark-red centers
• Non-stop flowers all summer and fall
• Vigorous and fast-growing shrubs for your garden or pots
• No seeds are produced, so no dead-heading and longer blooming
• Very easy to grow and great for easy-care gardens

Planted in full sun the Purple Satin® Rose of Sharon will perform at its best, but in hotter zones it can handle a little shade. Any well-drained soil is suitable, but avoid areas that are wet, especially in winter, and soak established plants from time to time in dry summer conditions. Your plants won’t be troubled by serious pests or diseases, and they are very low-care, needing no dead-heading. A spring prune is valuable once your bushes have been growing for a few years.
