I have 4 Rose of Sharon bushes in my yard. They keep the humming birds around for a few last weeks of summer here in NY.❤️And my sparrows love the seed pods in winter.
Saw one of these at the garden center this weekend. How amazing 10-16 feet tall. Will be going back to buy it. Had to watch your video first for the tips and things to know
We have two of these framing our front walkway. One of them is half white and half purple and it has gotten huge. I’ve had to trim it twice this summer so it doesn’t block our walkway. I’m disappointed and plan to move them in the spring. They were planted by a landscaping company.
Hi Laura, I love your videos and all the information that you share. I just purchased 4 purple pillars , I am hoping there growth is quicker with the height they get to you. I am using them as a hedge . Kath
Hi Mel, please know that Laura does not reply to the comments on our channel, but your choice for this as a hedge is a good one! The bicolor bloom is gorgeous, but do note this shrub is not as wide as others in our line, so if you want the plants touching you will need to plant accordingly. Here is the page on that plant with the maximum height and width included. Thanks for watching! www.provenwinners.com/plants/hibiscus/purple-pillar-rose-sharon-hibiscus-syriacus
Hi Laura! I have 2 of these, except the Purple Pillar. I have no idea what to plant at the base. I have them along a very narrow, brick lined walkway to provide privacy from my next door neighbor (I live in a rowhome.). On the other side of the walkway, i have a limelight hydrangea standard that i put supertunia bourdeaux underneath and they love it there. I also have a few spiderwort near the Purple Pillars, but need a recommendation of something that can go at the base of the Pillar that wont interfere with the Purple Pillar growth! Thanks in advance!
@ProvenWinnersTH-cam I’m in 5b Colorado and I planted them one month ago while still being dormant. We are getting 90 degrees this week and they still don’t have any leaves. I tested pruning the branches and they are alive - when will they start to leaf out? It’s already 6/10. Thanks!
I just bought a sugar tip rose of Sharon. Should I wait until fall to plant it to minimize shock? I live in central Massachusetts and a heatwave is in the forecast.
Good early morning, Laura and Aaron! Wow, this video was scheduled to drop way before 4 AM, what a treat for my early rising today! I don’t have any roses - however, hope to someday. How well do the grow in a half barrel? Or in a tall and wide planter? Thanks again and hope you have a splendid rest of your day with Benjamin! 💜
With the mature height of this plant it will be best in the landscape, a good wind would easily knock this over in a container of any type. sorry to say!
Hi, I have a newly planted rose of sharon double red althea and some of the buds are turning yellow and then falling off. What can I do to help it. Thank you for your time. I love your videos!
Hi Proven Winners, can you tell me the color difference in the light pink shade in the Pink Chiffon, Peppermint Smoothie, Danica and Sugar Tip? I don’t think I can get Pink Chiffon or Danica in my area. Love watching Laura in her garden!
It would be best if you visit provenwinners.com and search each of these plants to see the difference in bloom. We typically have a closeup of the blooms for each plant. Thank you for watching!
Question: I am using ten of the Pillar Rose of Sharon as a privacy fence on property line. I want them to grow to the full height. Do I need to trim back in Spring for new blooms or can I just fertilize and let them be? Do they bloom on Old growth and continue to bloom all season?
Just bought a house that has two shrubs on both sides of the garage and can’t figure out what they are. They have blue type berries now in the fall zone 5 and alternating leaves?
Please take a picture of the plant, and another close up of the berries and share it with us via the first link on this page--and there is a way to upload photos too, www.provenwinners.com/why-proven-winners/contact-us
I live in zone 9b which rarely freezes. Is White or Purple Pillar truly deciduous (meaning it will drop leaves regardless of temperature)? Or, does it only drop leaves if we have a freeze?
I need your help, I have shifted to a new place and at the very entrance I have a ugly looking big bush. I wish to put some flowers there, please help.
Hi Laura, I'd love to plant this as a privacy screen between me and my neighbour. Can I plant this right up against my fence, or do I need to leave some space, e.g., 1 foot, between it and the fence?
This is the Proven Winners channel, just so you know it is not Laura answering :), you want to look at the mature width of the plant and plant this half that distance from the fence, and we would recommend going out another foot to leave some space between the plant and the fence. We hope this helps!
No need to deadhead, the spent blooms will drop on their own from the plant. This shrub is not sterile, so there may be a few that pop up in the soil, but not many from the experiences we hear from other gardeners. Thanks for watching.
Hi my husband keeps bringing home shrubs that turn into trees almost I just want flowers without big roots in ground how can I explain what to look for when he buys things ?
There is no need to prune this plant unless it is getting too tall or wide for the area, here is a link to the information page on White Pillar, you'll see that it does not recommend pruning in order to have it bloom. www.provenwinners.com/plants/hibiscus/white-pillar-rose-sharon-hibiscus-syriacus
Hello. We’ve had this plant for a couple years now and love them. For some of these plants we have the growth has been on all new wood from the ground and for others its grown on old wood. Is this supposed to grow on old wood which allows it to get taller each season, or should it be cut back each year since it grows on new wood? Trying to figure out which pillar had a weird year by growing differently than the rest. The description says it grows on new wood but that would make it difficult to ever get to a mautrue height.
Like all roses of Sharon, it blooms on new wood - in other words, it creates its flower buds for the year only after it starts to leaf out in spring. However, these should be created on both old and new portions of the plant. Once the plant starts to leaf out in spring, it will begin creating both flower and leaf buds. Any new growth it puts out in, say, June, is unlikely to have the time to develop flower buds, so may not have flowers for that season, or may get them later in the season. We have observed that both of the Pillar roses of Sharon are much more heat-loving than other types, and definitely bloom best in hot, not merely warm, weather.
@@ProvenWinnersTH-cam thank you. So just to clarify, I should expect leaves and flowers on existing wood and not just new wood that grows from the ground up next year correct?
@@mikesingley8888 New wood is either, from an existing branch that is stemming off of another, or a new branch beginning from the base of the plant. These are beautiful care-free plants, enjoy!
Is the Pillar Rose of Sharon a sterile kind? I alwa6s love Rose of Sharon, but also understand it's notoriously known for its self-seeding habit except for those sterile kind....🙄
From personal experience I can say that in 2-3 years they should reach close to their mature height and will show blooms almost immediately. These are easy plants to care for! Enjoy!
This plant is an upright plant with strong branching, so it does not require a trellis. It is best when located in a landscape bed so that it can get sun from all directions, all day long. We hope this helps! We also offer this in Purple, here is a link, www.provenwinners.com/plants/hibiscus/purple-pillar-rose-sharon-hibiscus-syriacus
That is very alkaline. Rose of Sharon will withstand it to a pH of 7.5. You would have to add acidifying fertilizers and amendments, such as peat moss.
This is one of those wonderful shrubs that turn into large trees that everyone should have several of them in their property. 🌺🙂🌺
They are absolutely beautiful and make wonderful wall barter shrubs . 🙂
Butterflies and bees absolutely love them .🦋🐝
They are easy to grow and they grow quickly . 🤔
From one plant you can have thousands of them through their seed pods during the end of fall .🌺🍁 🌺
The 🌺 Pillar Rose 🌺 come in purple and pink and white color . 🙂
This plant is all (edible) meaning you can eat the flowers and the Young leaves and the Young seed pods as well as the branches and even the routes are used for medical purposes . 🌿😍🌺
They are safe to consume for humans as well as animals.
The flowers have plenty of vitamin c which is good for the immune system. 🙂
You can eat the flowers raw or add it to your salad or add it as a decoration on a birthday cake . 🌺🎂🌺
You can dry the flowers in the Sun and drink it as a tea as well as the leaves can be dried for tea . 🌺🌿☕🌿🌺
You can look this up in TH-cam as well as in the internet for more information.
So this is a beautiful and medical and edible plant that spreads quickly and is easy to grow and care for . 🌺😍🌺

This cat video is awesome (5:15 and 6:54)! But it gets interrupted by some woman talking about plants for a really long time.

Hi, I have a newly planted rose of sharon double red althea and some of the buds are turning yellow and then falling off. What can I do to help it. Thank you for your time. I love your videos!
There are a few reasons a rose of Sharon wouldn’t bloom. Their buds will fail if there’s too little sun, overwatering, or drought.
I need help with how to pick the right flowers for up hill back yard. Any tips will be helpful. Thank you.
Best you visit your local garden center for their recommendations, thank you.
My Rose of Sharon is light pink.
Hi Proven Winners, can you tell me the color difference in the light pink shade in the Pink Chiffon, Peppermint Smoothie, Danica and Sugar Tip? I don’t think I can get Pink Chiffon or Danica in my area. Love watching Laura in her garden!

The best would be for the two of you to plan ahead, and know the specific plants you want in your garden before going shopping.
I just got this plant and my research says that it blooms on new wood but pruning isn’t required. Should I prune in the spring or not?

Are they fast growers? Just ordered a small one online.

Do I prune it?
You can trim it back if it is too big for the space you have planted it in, but no, there is no pruning required.

Our soil ph is 7.8, is that too high for this plant
