Bert, the variegation on the leaves is really striking & the blooms look like they are going to be a very rich looking colour. Great photo.
That is one of the most beautiful plants I've ever seen, what a beautiful rose of sharon!!!!
Beauutiful plant. I've never seen a Rose of Sharon with variagted leaves. Got seeds ?
The flowers don't fully open but I still think they're lovely........
I think I have one those. It's young so I just figured the flowers would open up next year because this year they look just like yours. I got it at a nursery on line, 3 for $5 something like that but it was a grab bag so no name was given.
