vic said:We have Rose of Sharon growing everywhere here. No idea on the cultivars but lots of different shades of pinks and purples and blooming at a time when not a lot else is.
In my perennial garden, I keep them cut back to about 3 feet and they are a beautiful blooming shrub. In other areas of the property, I leave them alone and they can grow as high as 10 feet.
Love Rose of Sharon

Deebie said:It blooms on new wood. That explains why all of my flowers are at the tips of tall thin branches. I'm in zone 8a. Do you all think that it's too late to prune and fertilize my ROS? It's a double lavender, in full sun, and we get plenty of moisture here (especially during August) with high humidity.
