Magenta Chiffon® Rose of Sharon Shrub

Hot color and easy care, say hello to the spicy new color to join the award-winning Chiffon® series of Rose of Sharon shrubs. You'll love the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Magenta Chiffon® (Hibiscus syriacus 'Rwoods5') with its strikingly saturated double magenta-purple powder puff blooms that bloom for many weeks.

These cute little blooms face outward from the bright green foliage. With this improved variety, you'll enjoy more flowers for a longer time. And those bright flowers do a wonderful job of covering the entire plant. Another great feature of this graceful, rounded shrub is its superlative growth habit. Unlike other Rose of Sharon varieties (which can be a bit stiff), this upright variety can sway in the breeze and add a delightful sense of motion to your landscape.

Magenta Chiffon® is definitely a good-time shrub!

This party animal wakes up a bit later in the spring than other plants, but Magenta Chiffon® Rose of Sharon is totally worth the wait! The bees and Hummingbirds will agree and join the party!

With the Magenta Chiffon® well-behaved variety, any care or maintenance on your part is greatly reduced. They produce very few seeds. That's a perfect reason to celebrate!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant it in a spot where they will get at least six hours of sunlight a day. Thanks to their naturally graceful habit and nearly-seedless nature, Chiffon® Rose of Sharon doesn't require much pruning. If you wish to prune them, however, early spring is the best time to do so. Altheas performs well in almost any soil, except if it's too dry or too wet. This easy-care plant is a perfect choice, whether you are a beginner or have years of landscaping experience. Rose of Sharon loves sunshine! Provide a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Use a three-inch layer of arborist mulch over the top of the root system to keep them nice and cool.

This pretty shrub blooms on new wood, so Prune Althea in early spring to either shape or control the height. You'll have flowers later that season, no matter how tightly you trim them in spring. You can even train these shrubs into multi or single-stemmed tree forms! Renewal prune every 3-5 years to maintain vigor. Apply a slow-release fertilizer designed for flowering plants at the same time. Follow application rates on the label.
