Red Pillar® Hardy Hibiscus

The Red Pillar® Hardy Hibiscus is not just your ordinary Rose of Sharon. Instead of being a rounded, broad shrub, it forms a slender column of branches that can reach 15 feet, but will only be 4 feet wide. Perfect for filling narrow spaces against a wall or fence, or as a terrific accent shrub in a bed, it is also a wonderful pot-plant for a terrace or patio, bringing loads of color in a limited space. In bloom from mid-summer to frost, each large, open flower is a gorgeous pink-red, with a bullseye of bright red filling the center. The column of white stamens in the center really adds impact too.

• Fabulous vertical shrub in bloom for months
• Beautiful large red flower with a red-purple heart
• Hardy from zone 5 – tough and reliable
• Great in pots, bringing height without width
• Deer-proof and drought resistant

The Red Pillar® Hardy Hibiscus should be grown in a sunny spot, in any well-drained soil. Hardy to zone 5, but with some winter damage is less likely to reach its 15 foot potential in cooler zones. Feed plants in pots regularly, and trim in spring for neatness, or prune harder when in a pot to maximize flower production. Deer-proof and usually free of any pest or disease problem, this super-easy shrub will be a winner anywhere in your garden.
