Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Give this shrub at least 6 hours of direct sun daily for the best flower production. While it survives in partial shade, the unique variegated foliage will look duller and you will see fewer blooms.
  • Soil: Use well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay that stays wet, plant the root ball in a slight mound to keep the roots from sitting in water and rotting.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water deeply twice a week to help the root system branch out into your native soil. Once established, this shrub is quite drought tolerant, but inconsistent watering during high heat can cause the flower buds to drop before they ever open. Think of consistent moisture as the fuel the plant needs to keep those tropical looking flowers coming all summer.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so you should prune it in late winter or early spring before you see any new leaves. Give it a haircut at this time to encourage fresh growth, because that new growth is exactly where the flower buds will form. Removing the oldest branches every few years keeps the shrub full and prevents it from becoming thin or leggy at the bottom.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Do not use high nitrogen fertilizers after mid-summer, because this stimulates soft growth that will not have time to toughen up before the winter freezes arrive. This late season growth is very susceptible to frost damage which can stress the entire plant.

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.
