Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Give this shrub at least six hours of direct sunlight every day to ensure the highest flower count and strongest stems. While it handles light shade, the luminous white blooms will be less frequent and the growth may become leggy.
Soil: Aim for moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter to support heavy blooming. For heavy clay, mix in some compost at planting time to improve drainage, as sitting in soggy soil during winter can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

Provide deep soakings twice a week during the first growing season to help the roots dive deep into the soil. Once the plant is established, it becomes quite sturdy and only needs supplemental water during extended summer droughts. If the soil stays bone-dry for too long, you might notice fewer buds or slightly smaller flowers because the plant is diverting energy toward survival rather than the floral show.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so you should prune it in late winter or early spring before any green growth appears. Think of it like a fresh haircut to encourage new, vigorous stems that will carry this year's flower crop. Since Rose of Sharon is famously late to wake up in spring, do not worry if it looks like a collection of bare sticks while the rest of your garden is already green.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring just as the first leaves begin to emerge. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this forces soft, tender growth that will not have time to harden off before the first frost. A steady supply of nutrients ensures the foliage stays dark green and the pure white blooms keep coming through the autumn.

Luminous Summer Performance

When the heat of summer causes other garden favorites to fade, the Paraplu® Pure White Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'RWoods7') takes center stage. This isn't just another white flowering shrub; the blooms of Paraplu® Pure White are exceptionally bright and wide-open, creating a luminous effect that seems to "glow" against its backdrop of rich, dark green foliage. These stunning flowers persist from the height of summer well into the crisp days of autumn, providing a relentless display of elegant, pure white color.

Effortless Landscape Versatility

Growing with a graceful, upright habit, this Rose of Sharon is as functional as it is beautiful. Reaching a mature height of up to 8 feet, it serves as a spectacular flowering hedge or privacy screen that defines property lines with style. Because the white blooms stand out so vividly in low light, it is a premier choice for "Moon Gardens," where the flowers catch the moonlight for a magical evening experience. Use it as a standalone specimen near a patio, or plant it as a high-impact foundation plant to add vertical interest and seasonal texture to your home's exterior.

A Pollinator Paradise

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Paraplu® Pure White is a vital hub for local wildlife. The large, nectar-rich blossoms act as a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and various bee species, keeping your garden buzzing with life for months. Despite its popularity with pollinators, it remains a "Deer Resistant" favorite, meaning you can enjoy the lush foliage and delicate flowers without the constant worry of local browsers. With its easy-care nature and sophisticated palette, this Hibiscus is a must-have for any gardener looking to add a touch of tropical flair to a temperate landscape.
