Hailing from Minier Nurseries in France, the 'Pink Ink' Rose of Sharon was appropriately selected and named for the large size and incredible and unusual coloration of its flowers. Each pure white, tropical hibiscus-like bloom is tie-dye style painted with red, dark pink and purple at the center that streaks to the outside petal edges for the look of a tropical hibiscus, but on a cold hardy rose of sharon! Hardy to as far north as Zone 5a and heat hardy to 9b, Pink Ink is a showstopper that the hummingbirds will thank you for planting!

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, the Pink Ink Rose of Sharon is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in sunny landscape and flowering shrub borders and home foundation plantings. As this Rose of Sharon grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a small tree that serves well as a highly attractive and colorful focal point specimen tree. A fine addition to hummingbird gardens, cottage gardens and white theme gardens.

Rose of Sharon are easy to grow and maintain in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and plenty of sunshine. Some shade will be tolerated but flowering won't be as heavy and plants may be leggier and tend to flop. Except to remove a stray or broken branch, Rose of Sharon require little or no pruning. Plants are quite drought tolerant when established.
