Rose of Sharon

R of Sharon do well in sun or part shade

They like a good loom, clay mixed do well, mixed with sand is good for drainage

I have some seeds started too
I want the blue one

Good luck with them

This wil be new for me to have one. They are not known here so much

-- I want to believe in a lot of things but, in the meantime I have to deal with the truth

Our neighbor has been fighting off RofS plants since they moved in a few years ago. The previous owner loved them and did nothing to thin out new growth.

Be advised: the seed production each year is prodigious!! And, the stems get woody quickly, and the roots go deep!

Hi BOB,
thanks for the site: on dial up and it just will not “pop up” for me. Will try it another day!

D: Thanks,
I will make sure to put them where it will not matter: maybe by the marsh/pond!!!

And D now that I have seen what they look like, I think definitely the marsh/pond side!!

Eklectic,
Here in my area I have seen them grow up to 12 ft. You can always prune them to your desired height.They are quite hardy.

This is my first time growing R of S too .Got them in the seed exchange and they are coming up nicely under my grow lights. I looked up a lot of info on them but none of the sites actually said how big they will get in the first year.Can anyone out there help me out?Thank You.
