Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily to ensure the most prolific "pompom" blooms. While it can tolerate partial shade, too much shade results in leggy growth and significantly fewer flowers.
  • Soil: This shrub thrives in moist but well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay that stays soggy, mix in plenty of compost or aged bark at planting time to improve drainage and prevent root rot.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist during the first two years to help the root system become established in your landscape. Once mature, the Magenta Chiffon is remarkably drought tolerant, though it still needs a deep soaking once a week during the peak of summer to prevent bud drop. If the plant is water stressed, you will notice yellowing leaves or flower buds that fall off before they ever open.

Pruning Tips

Because this variety blooms on new wood, you should do your heavy pruning in late winter or early spring before the first leaves appear. Use sharp bypass pruners to remove dead wood and thin out the center of the shrub to improve air circulation. This "haircut" encourages the plant to produce vigorous new stems, which leads to much larger and more impressive magenta flowers.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer or a generous layer of compost in early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers in late summer or autumn because this can force a flush of tender green growth that will be easily killed by the first frost. These shrubs are moderate feeders, so one application a year is usually enough to keep them happy.

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!

Planting and Application:

Use this as a single specimen or mix and match a long, tall privacy hedge of all the Chiffon colors, from Lavender, Blue, White, and Pink. You'll love the low-maintenance summer style and the lovely flowering privacy screening for your backyard get-togethers!

These rounded 8 - 12 foot tall and 6 - 10 foot wide shrub has an elegant branching canopy that has high-impact color! Magenta Chiffon® are fantastic for smaller courtyards and anywhere their low-maintenance nature can really shine! Spruce up a Rose garden or pollinator border to set off every other plant! You'll love having one with pinpoint shade and privacy around seating areas, the soft and soothing colored flowers add a cool and calming effect to Meditation gardens and sunny hot porches and patios alike!

Use this three-season accent as a specimen throughout the landscape where it can shine in the sun and attract attention in key locations! Use these in large containers as 'Thrillers' for a ton of easy style. Just place them in full sun and maximum blooming. What a fabulous focal point for your patio.

#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.

Tree Form vs. Shrub Form

The details make all the difference in a garden. At Naturehills.com, we understand that little things like what form a plant is can greatly impact how you plan your landscape. So before you buy, don’t forget to check which form you're getting.

Tree Form:

These are plants that have one stem coming from the ground. Plants can also be considered single stem when lower branches are removed to raise the height of the branching to a more desired height. Sometimes, you will hear a tree form referred to as a single stem.

Shrub Form:

These are bushy plants with many stems and branchings close to the ground. They are referred to as shrubs or bushes and are often shorter than their tree forms.
