Hibiscus syriacus


The Freedom rose of Sharon grows really fast, especially during summers with plenty of rain.

I ordered two tiny plants from a newspaper insert ad about 22 years ago. These bloom from mid-July until mid-September and reach 12 - 15 feet tall by late summer every year. In winter we cut them back to about 5 feet tall. They do not make seeds like our other Rose of Sharon shrubs.
