Description
For those of you who love Crape Myrtles, you’ll also love Rose of Sharon. We consider Rose of Sharon one of the the most under-rated flowering ornamental plants in the plant world. The Rose of Sharon is very easy to grow and requires little to no maintenance. We have many Rose of Sharon planted in our own gardens and rarely have to touch them. No insect or disease problems. No issues with heat or drought. Deer won’t touch them…and, best of all, the masses of beautiful flowers keep coming for months providing a long show of color!
With its unique and columnar form, the White Pillar Rose of Sharon is sure to put an exclamation point on your landscape. An abundance of pure white semi-double flowers appear all summer long adding even more appeal in the garden. The flowers are a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in an upright columnar form 10 to 16 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, the White Pillar Rose of Sharon is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, as a hedge, or to frame entryways in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Plant one near the patio or other outdoor living spaces so you can enjoy the flowers and the butterflies and hummingbirds that will visit them.
Suggested Spacing: 2 to 2.5 feet apart for a solid hedge; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Rose of Sharon is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Rose of Sharon are very easy to grow and maintain. Simply 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 and quite drought tolerant once established. Constantly soggy soil or standing water can be problematic. They require little if any pruning, though a stray or broken branch can be removed any time of year.
