Rose of Sharon hibiscus is a flowering shrub that is super garden reliable and dependable that will become covered in blossoms from midsummer till early fall. The Proven Winners® CHIFFON® series is characterized by having semi-double flowers with a lacy tuft or tufted center, giving them a delicate, anemone-like look. This center is the hallmark of the series and adds visual texture. These flowering shrubs grow with soft, graceful stems and a somewhat rounded, shrub-like structure. But these shrubs are anything but delicate and fragile. These are some of the toughest and cold hardy shrubs around. They’re also heat, drought tolerant, and even salt tolerant. They do well in a wide variety of soil types and they’re even deer resistant! These shrubs have an upright but graceful (not rigid) form that works well as hedges, borders, mass plantings, or a stand-alone specimen.  This shrub combines elegance and resilience and is known for its large, showy and tufted flower centers and overall tough performance. It’s low maintenance and blooms on new wood, so pruning is not difficult in late winter to early spring. They leaf out quite late each spring, so don’t assume they’re dead if there are no early signs of growth. Choose your color between blue, pink, or magenta.
