Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Elevate your landscape with the double-duty beauty of the Paraplu Adorned® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Minpapan1'). While most Rose of Sharon varieties are prized solely for their tropical-looking blooms, Paraplu Adorned® offers a sensory explosion that begins with its foliage and ends with a spectacular floral show. This isn't just a shrub; it is a vertical masterpiece designed to bring light and texture to the sunny corners of your garden.
Luminous Variegated Foliage
Long before the first flower bud appears, Paraplu Adorned® commands attention with its maple-like leaves. Each leaf is a work of art, featuring a bold, serrated edge and a striking variegation of deep forest green and brilliant chartreuse. This yellow-green glow provides a luminous quality in the garden, brightening up darker landscape backdrops and providing a high-contrast canvas for the summer display. Unlike older variegated varieties that may scorch in the sun, this Proven Winners® selection maintains its crisp color throughout the heat of the season.
A Summer Symphony of Purple
As the midsummer heat sets in, this Rose of Sharon transforms into a pollinator paradise. Large, five-petaled blooms unfurl in a delicate shade of light purple, each one featuring a dramatic "eye" of dark magenta at the center. These cool-toned flowers appear in abundance against the warm chartreuse foliage, creating a color palette that is both sophisticated and tropical. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees will be frequent visitors to these nectar-rich flowers from midsummer well into the fall.
Sophisticated Structure for Tight Spaces
With its naturally upright and narrow habit, the Paraplu Adorned® is a problem-solver for modern landscapes. Reaching up to 10 feet tall but staying only 4 feet wide, it is the perfect candidate for a "living fence" or a colorful privacy screen along a patio. Use it as a thriller in large containers, a focal point in a mixed border, or plant them in a row for a formal, blooming hedge that requires very little maintenance to keep its shape.
