When summer heats up so does the Red Heart Rose of Sharon. It sizzles with an abundant and lavish display of outstanding large white hibiscus-like flowers with pure white petals surrounding a splash of rich ruby-red at the center. The flowers begin appearing in mid summer and continue well into fall, sometimes all the way to frost. Hummingbirds love the flowers and will make a beeline for those hot red, nectar-laden bullseyes! Exceptionally easy to grow and long-lived, this beauty will add a tropical flare in the backyard and front yard...a beautiful specimen that is sure to capture the attention and hearts of all the neighbors! 

Growing 8 to 10 feet tall with a spread of 6 to 8 feet, the Red Heart Rose of Sharon is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in sunny landscape borders, home foundation plantings, around patios and other outdoor living spaces, or in containers. A fine selection for hummingbird gardens, tropical-look gardens, white theme gardens and cottage gardens.
