The leaves are edible, too. When I'm out of lettuce and don't feel like going to the store, I pick several leaves from my Rose of Sharon bushes, wash and dry them, and top sandwiches with them. The taste like lettuce.
When it’s gets windy we have to cut about 50% off to make the plant tough to withstand the wind - how philosophical is this toour own lives as seasons change - we must go through a time of breaking, of cutting so we may withstand what life will throw at us. Be blessed!
i keep taking the yellow leaf’s off but in 3 to 5 days there back plz help my mom pass last year and she told me to take good care of it but aim not doing that good plz can u tell to hope to save it😢 ..Dar
Moved into a house 4yrs ago these hibiscus plants were already well established. They are well over 12ft tall. I have cut them back but not down in size. They're beautiful. I've never had to do anything to them. They reach up passed my back deck. So no matter where in the yard or deck you are they're seen from everywhere. It's a beautiful sight. No fertilizer, I don't have to water or use any kind of feed on them. They never fail to bloom. Nothing else grows in my hard, dense, clay soil. But these thrive every year without fail. I believe they've been here for well over 20yrs. As old ones die back the new shoots take over and always bloom thick and colorful.
I hear you loud and clear, I never realized Rose of Sharon were supposed to be so delicate, The ones I've been around just grow bloom without any fuss, Plus you end up with bookoo of Rose Sharon's! Not only do they flower nicely but they're very easy to take care of and inexpensive to have !
These flowers (the white and pink kind) popped up in my backyard last week after my grandmother passed away. The area where they came up were just weeds for years and years and then all of a sudden, beautiful flowers.
How very sweet. I also believe that there is some connection between us and a loved one who dies. Certainly their spirit is always with us. I felt it many times after my father died very unexpectedly (quite some years ago).
You don't have to be religious or spiritual to experience unexplainable events. Your grandmother is letting you know she's OK. Shes also telling you to clean up the weeds. My mother follows me around the grocery store, she occasionally throws a loaf of bread at me, I have witnesses. Enjoy the flowers and think of her when you do. Love from her to you.
I was given this plant from a neighbour who couldnt grow it in a pot. It had never flowered and she gave up. Stuck it straight into the ground and wow - i love it. Never knew the name of it until i stumbled across your video ! Thank you - and thanks for the tips also.
Thank you!! My husband didn't know what a Rose of Sharon looked like, and I want one. So now he thinks it looks nice too. And I didn't know you shouldn't use electric hedge clippers, but what you said about the jagged cutting making the plant succeptible to catching diseases die to the branches not having clean cuts makes complete sense! That is like Rose bushes. You should use Sharp Shears and cut at a 45° angle. I think I'll make similar cuts on the Rose of Sharon. It will probably help the rain run off more easily like it does for Mom's Mr. Lincoln Rose Bush. Thank you!
I am from Dallas, but did not know that. I hope more people plant them as it is hard to find flowering plants that tolerate both the high heat and the occasional freeze.
A friend of mine (in the states ) has some extra Rose of Sharon (wants to thin out ) so that’s why I came to your TH-cam Site to see what the plant look like!
Thanks for youe video, I am now in my 2nd year with planting mine. I had always admired them. Have had pretty good luck and wanted to keep it that way. Did not know about the trimming, now I do. Thanks.It is presently in Bloom in Fuschia,, and is thriving. Will make sure I do the trimming in the Fall. Great info. All the best to you and yours,,, here in 2021
Good information. Thank you. I have two in my garden near Paris France that have grown in the shade of trees, yet they grow well, lots of flowers. I think they receive three or four hours of sun per day.
Thank you, I just bought a Rose of Sharon, where I planted it, I thought it would get more sun. Have to move it. Maybe 2 hours a day, not enough. Pink Chiffon, so pretty 🌸Subscribed
OMG，your hibiscus is so wonderful。i love it so much。 i from Malaysia that 365 days summer，which mean whole year are blooming at here as well。❤️hibiscus
I know you wrote this a long time ago, but dang I wish I was where summer was all year round! Hahaha! I'm in Wisconsin short growing season and mighty cold!
Here in southern Indiana our's just opened its first blossoms about the 23rd of June. I've never actually paid any attention to its blooming period but it seems like most of summer and possibly into September.
The first one I ever got was from Hampton court England ,it was a double purple, and that was many years ago .have added to my collection, I let mine go to seed ,,one I get lots of new plant that I give away and second the bird love the seeds
I have a metal 5 ft fence around my backyard and growing though out the fence there are rose of sharon.. Im trying to have them all as a living fence, for more privacy🤔How can I turn my tall bushes ( like vines) into full coverenimg bushes trees? Please.
How to take care of the rose of sharon over winter in very cold weather (zone 3_). It is small enough to pot but how much sun and what temp level. Thanks
I have a 10 foot hedge of these which are now almost 40 years old, we cut the tops back after they bloom and trim the sides. It is blooming as I speak, August 11th, what I want to know is, how long can I expect these shrubs to live? They are between 18 to 20 inches in diameter at the base and I have noticed rain water accumulating where the branches meet the trunks, worried for ice forming there. Wondering if I will have to replace the hedge within the next few year.
I have one in a pot, in southern England. I took it indoors in the autumn to see if it will flower indoors, is this a bad idea? It has started coming back into leaf.
I have tiny black bugs on the underside of the young leaves. I have my tree in a large pot in my yard. I am treating it with neem oil. Is this good to get rid of them.
@@JetBob84 haha I've already seen our bunnies this year. One is massive. Bigger than some small dogs. lol They've left my rose of sharon alone, but they still chew up my burning bush.
@@JoPurpleLove Good heavens, I didn't know that bunnies ate burning bushes too! 🐇 My wife and I have a pet 20lb Flemish Giant bunny named Zora, but she lives indoors. It sounds like you have a science fiction movie playing out in your yard! 😬🤣 Do you think the bushes will grow back?
A friend of mine just gave me some cuttings I did not know who rose of Sharon was hibiscus. I live in Michigan I believe zone five I think I’m going to pack them for indoors and plant next spring anybody have any thoughts? I love you I just subscribed! Very informative great content!
Sue Poch I’m in zone 5 of Michigan as well and have a rose of Sharon planted in the front of my house, it gets full sun and is pretty protected and does great, I feel it’s all comes down to right plant right place. Even though it’s late hopefully this helps
I’m looking for buying this plant, as plant, and the only thing I found are seeds… I never heard this grow from seeds, does it? Could you please inform me about this? Thanks in advance.
Honey, if you don't pick the flowers up off the ground they will grow into new plants. When I am on time I pick them up & scatter them in other places. If I'm late I transplant the newbies the following year where "i" want them. Fun, Fun & Fun
My son came home with two small pots with the beautiful rose of Sharon. Should I put them underground? Put them outside with the pot they came? Or put them in a bigger pot outside? I’m so confused. Right now I have them indoors and they are losing its leaves. I’m afraid they’re dying.Please help.. Thank you 🙏🏻
I bought a standard Rose of Sharon. I planted it in September and now is not doing very well. The buds and leaves are yellow. Do you think I should prune it for now to alleviate de shock of planting it?
I have hundreds of these ripping through my entire yard in Michigan 😅 chopping 95% of these down (need an actual axe) but keeping hopefully a couple of nice strategic patches which are over 8ft tall.

I have a rose of Sharon that is at least twenty years old. When I moved in it literally has a trunk which is 3-4 inches around. It is as at Least 15 feet tall. I have been cutting the side branches in the fall, but this guy grows like a weed, albeit a gorgeous one. The problem is the branches get so full of flowers they really dip down. We end up tying it to support it, but that does take away a bit from its look. Any suggestions on how to make the branches stronger or how I should do a makeover on it? Thank you
We bought this exact plant, no flowers on it. I was worried it was dead, but the branches are green when I checked it. What do I do? Will the plant get new growth from under the ground as my other hibiscus? I’m heartbroken, when will I see life from this beautiful tree?
I have 15 Rose of Sharon trees. Iast year they had lots of buds, but only half opened. The others turned brown and died. The biggest tree had black stuff all over its bark. What is wrong?
My rose of sharon have gotten tall. I have 8 in a row on fence line. Was thinking about making them shrub looking. Can just cut them down about 3ft and not take much out of the sides
May I ask a critical question please. My rose of Sharon is located in a very dark place and does not bloom at all. I believe it is 3-5 years old. Do you think I can relocate it to more sunny place as you advised? Thank you very much.
Great video! I'd like to plant the Rose of Sharon alongside my home with some Knock out Roses. The Knock out Roses will mature to about 4 feet tall and I'd like to keep the Rose of Sharon the same height. Thanks for the tips!
I've had my Rose of Sharons for two years now .They are really tall and planted in a sunny area. They have lot of buds on them but they bloom one at a time.Like one or two flowers bloom then they fall on the ground. Then another two blooms at a time.Why is this happening and what do think I should do to help the tree have as many vibrant blooms as possible?
Looked at my rose of sharon yesterday and it looks as if someone took a hedge trimmer to the top branches. The cut-offs are on the ground underneath the rose of sharon. Wondering what kind of insect could be doing this damage. Would like to nip it in the bud since they will be blooming soon. Would appreciate any help/advice you can give.
I planted some Rose of Sharon seeds. They came up and are growing great, but they only have two stems. How do I get them to branch out? I've been debating pruning them, but just not sure 🤔 how is the best way or when to do it. They are 3 feet tall with only 2 branches!
Hello from Houston, Texas. I love my plant but am very frustrated with the disease or bug infestation on my Althea plants. I have two of them. My plants' leaves get this white powdery web looking material on the backside of leaves first and then it moves to the front. It seems like a cocoon because I have seen some kind of insect under the white powder. Then it spreads to my other plants as well. I am not an experienced gardener. Please suggest something. I don't want to take my plants out. Thank you.
I’d say it’s very hardy. I had a small tree of it beside my house. When the tree died I cut it down and then it sprang up in every direction for about ten feet. I used to have one now I have four.
I just bought two for my garden, but I'm worried my climate won't be warm enough for them to bloom well, I'm in Ireland. On some sites, it says they need a good summer to flower well. I think your summers would be a bit warmer/sunnier than mine, but there's not a huge difference. It looks great in your video, but maybe this was a good summer...do you find any problem with flowering?
In Southern Ontario Canada, Zone 5b-6a we have winter temps go well below freezing and the plants (now trees!) don't bat an eye! Don't ever see bugs on my branches or flowers either. Maybe I'm just fortunate. Good luck to you!
These shrubs attract major pollinators. If you have hummingbirds in your area, as we do in Northern Ohio and in Vermont, hummers love Rose of Sharon blossoms - we see them there the entire blooming season. It goes without saying that bees love it, you can see on landing in this video.
The leaves are edible, too. When I'm out of lettuce and don't feel like going to the store, I pick several leaves from my Rose of Sharon bushes, wash and dry them, and top sandwiches with them. The taste like lettuce.

My rose of Sharon is located in a very dark place and does not bloom at all. I believe it is 3-5 years old.
Do you think I can relocate it to more sunny place as you advised?

Yes ! It needs a sunny location. ☀️☀️

Hello from Houston, Texas. I love my plant but am very frustrated with the disease or bug infestation on my Althea plants. I have two of them. My plants' leaves get this white powdery web looking material on the backside of leaves first and then it moves to the front. It seems like a cocoon because I have seen some kind of insect under the white powder. Then it spreads to my other plants as well. I am not an experienced gardener. Please suggest something. I don't want to take my plants out. Thank you.
What color of your rose of Sharon
I’d say it’s very hardy. I had a small tree of it beside my house. When the tree died I cut it down and then it sprang up in every direction for about ten feet. I used to have one now I have four.
Hermoso bonito
I just bought two for my garden, but I'm worried my climate won't be warm enough for them to bloom well, I'm in Ireland. On some sites, it says they need a good summer to flower well. I think your summers would be a bit warmer/sunnier than mine, but there's not a huge difference. It looks great in your video, but maybe this was a good summer...do you find any problem with flowering?
Is this edible like other hibiscus plants?
how does the Rose of Sharon do in minus 30 weather and very hot and how about ant /aphid infestation?
In Southern Ontario Canada, Zone 5b-6a we have winter temps go well below freezing and the plants (now trees!) don't bat an eye! Don't ever see bugs on my branches or flowers either. Maybe I'm just fortunate. Good luck to you!
These shrubs attract major pollinators. If you have hummingbirds in your area, as we do in Northern Ohio and in Vermont, hummers love Rose of Sharon blossoms - we see them there the entire blooming season. It goes without saying that bees love it, you can see on landing in this video.

Hi enjoyed the video. i did not deadhead the Rose of sharon in the fall. Now there is dried remains. Should i pull them off or cut ?
