Don't let the name fool you. The flowering shrub we call Rose of Sharon isn't a rose at all. Native to parts of Asia, this plant with exotic-looking blooms, Hibiscus syriacus, is a member of the mallow family and a relative of tropical hibiscus. You may also know it as shrub althea, althea tree, Chinese hibiscus or hardy hibiscus.

No matter what you call it, Rose of Sharon is lovely. The large single, semi-double or double flowers can be flat or frilly and open from summer to fall when few other shrubs are blooming. There are many varieties of rose of Sharon, so you can find violet, blue, pink, red, lavender, purple or white flowers. These woody plants drop their leaves in the fall.

How to Plant Rose of Sharon

Hardy to USDA Zones 5 to 8 (and sometimes 9), Rose of Sharon is easy-to-grow and happy in full sun in northern gardens with at least six hours of sun each day. In southern areas, the plants like morning sun and some protection from the intense afternoon heat.

Rose of Sharon prefers moist, well-drained soil with an alkaline to neutral pH. Once Hibiscus syriacus is established, it can tolerate drought and pollution, making it a great choice for urban gardens. Since the plants can grow 8 to 12 feet tall and spread 6 to 10 feet, think about where you'll put rose of Sharon before you plant.

Plant rose of Sharon in spring or fall. The plants tend to leaf out a bit late in springtime, so don't be alarmed if yours gets off to a slow start. Space the plants 6 to 10 feet apart; read the tag or label for the exact spacing. You can also grow rose of Sharon in a large container filled with good quality potting soil. A dwarf rose of Sharon (also Hibiscus syriacus) that tops out at 3 to 4 feet tall and wide is a good choice for this. Otherwise, you can let your plant grow into a bushy shrub or train it as a tree.
