National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. Purple Pillar Hibiscus is a unique and reliable deciduous shrub that provides a sophisticated, space-saving vertical layer of color to your landscape. Its innovative, narrow columnar habit features deep green foliage accented by large, semi-double purple flowers with striking red centers that bloom continuously from mid-summer into autumn. This tough Rose of Sharon is incredibly easy to grow, thriving in various soil types and resisting heat and drought once established. Potted shrubs arrive ready to plant and acclimate quickly in well prepared soil. Plant in a sunny location with good drainage and water deeply 2-3 times a week to promote robust root growth and ensure a spectacular, top-to-bottom display of vibrant summer blooms. Once established, this versatile shrub will return year after year, serving as the perfect low maintenance narrow privacy screen, entryway accent, or patio container centerpiece.
