Description
The hummingbirds will thank you for planting this one! With some of the largest blooms we’ve ever seen on a Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus), ‘Ruffled Satin’ looks more like a tropical hibiscus than the super cold hardy species it is. During summer, this eye-catching beauty boasts LOADS of large, bowl-shaped, rich pink flowers with ruffled pink petals surrounding an intense burgundy color eye. It is sterile so has a low seed set, meaning the plant has more energy available to spend on producing the enormous flowers, not too mention you won’t be spraying or pulling up seedlings from all over the place.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and equally as wide, the Ruffled Satin Rose of Sharon can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a small, very attractive tree. Either way, this beauty is ideal for use as a specimen in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to pink theme gardens, tropical-look gardens, cottage gardens and butterfly and hummingbird gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 7 to 8 feet apart for solid hedges;Â 14′ + for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Rose of Sharon are very easy to grow and maintain. Plant them where the sun shines most of the day. Some light shade is tolerated but too much shade and plants will become leggy and flowering is diminished. They are not too particular about soil type, even tolerating poor soils, and are quite drought tolerant when established. That said, they would prefer a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. They require little if any pruning, though a stray or broken branch can be removed any time of year.
