The replacement White Pillar Rose of Sharon is doing great

The replacement White Pillar Rose of Sharon is doing great. Regarding the previous 7 plants, they also look great. Execpt one, it did not get the correct color gene (its magenta pink) I'm not happy about it, but it is a healthy plant. Someone in your nursery is color blind. I hope that is the only surprise, I wanted all Pillar plants, no bushes, that will require more time.

Gary, glad to hear the replacement is doing well and that most of the earlier plants are looking good too. The one that came up magenta pink instead of white is a real disappointment, and that is a fair concern. Off-type plants do occasionally slip through, and it sounds like you have high standards for how this planting comes together. If you reach out to our support team, they can look at your order and see what can be done about that one. -The Nature Hills Team

This plant is doing great

This plant is doing great. I look forward to it growing in my garden and adding a bit of beautiful color.

Rose of Sharon is such a reliable bloomer once it settles in, and the blue-violet flowers on this one are hard to beat for late-summer color. As it matures, you may see it self-seed a bit, so deadheading spent blooms is an easy way to keep it tidy. Thanks for planting with us, Helen. We hope it gives you years of color to enjoy.

They seem to be doing pretty well so far

They seem to be doing pretty well so far. They looked healthy when they arrived and it’s only been a few weeks but they are looking good

White Pillar is a reliable grower once it gets established, and healthy roots from the start make a real difference. Give it a few good waterings through the first season and it should reward you with those tall, columnar blooms before long. Thanks for sharing the early update, Susan.

Ken, it is great to hear the Azurri Blue Satin Rose of Sharon is off to a good start for you. These shrubs tend to really hit their stride in their second season once the roots settle in, so you have a lot to look forward to. Thanks for taking a moment to leave a review.

I am SO impressed with the quality of this plant!

I am SO impressed with the quality of this plant! It looked so vigorous and healthy when it arrived. I am really looking forward to seeing how it grows. I can't wait for its first blossom.

That first blossom is a real moment, Anne. The Azurri Blue Satin blooms come in a deep blue-violet that is genuinely hard to find in a shrub this easy to grow. Give it a sunny spot and it should reward you with flowers from midsummer well into fall. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us.

Arrived healthy and on time

Arrived healthy and on time. Put in large pot and placed on patio. It is growing with height and new leaves and color is good. No blooms yet but think I see some coming out. Looking forward to them.

Azurri Blue Satin is worth the wait when those first blooms open. Growing well in a container with new leaves pushing out is a great sign, and once it settles in and the season warms up, the flowers should follow. Thanks for sharing the update, Mary, and enjoy the show when it arrives.

Looks GREAT

Received this today. The plant arrived fully leafed out, which is awesome since this particular plant is notoriously late leafing out. It was quite large, which I was skeptical of, since even Proven Winners doesn't sell this particular variety larger than in a gallon pot, but this arrived in a full 3 gallons and is nearly 4 feet tall!

Small hedge

Planted a row of these along my property line. My neighbor loves them. We both enjoy lovely blue flowers. Until now I did not know that Rose of Sharon could be so short.

Hi Jamie,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Azurri Blue Satin® Rose of Sharon Shrub! We’re delighted to hear that both you and your neighbor are enjoying the lovely blue flowers. It’s wonderful how plants can bring a shared joy and beauty along property lines.

Regarding the size, the Azurri Blue Satin tends to be more compact compared to some other Rose of Sharon varieties, making it perfect for a neatly sized hedge without overwhelming the space. If you’re hoping for a bit more height in the future, consider occasional pruning to encourage fuller growth upward. Also, planting in rich, well-drained soil and ensuring consistent watering will help the shrubs thrive and reach their potential size.

Plant growth

My Rose of Sharon came up later than all my other plants and I found out that is normal. It is a late emerger compared to a lot of other plants. I wish I would have read the information on this site rather than worrying.

Hi Ellie,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Azurri Blue Satin® Rose of Sharon shrub! We completely understand how waiting for a plant to emerge later than others can cause concern, so we’re glad to hear it’s starting to come up now. You're absolutely right — this shrub does tend to be a late emerger, and it’s great that you discovered this characteristic. In the future, our planting guides often highlight timing details like this to help set expectations and ease any worries.

If you’d like some additional tips as it grows, make sure your Rose of Sharon is planted in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight to encourage healthy development. Regular watering early on without overwatering can also give it a good boost. Feel free to explore our Care Guide for Rose of Sharon on the site for more in-depth advice.

Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback, Ellie. We’re rooting for this beautiful shrub to flourish in your garden!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will White Pillar® Rose of Sharon survive winter in zone 8 if planted in middle November?

  • Rose of Sharon is hardy in zones 5-9, so zone 8 winter survival isn't a concern. November planting gives the roots 4-6 weeks to establish before dormancy. Water deeply after planting and mulch around the base to insulate roots through winter.

What is the mature height and width of White Pillar® Rose of Sharon?

  • White Pillar® Rose of Sharon reaches 8-10 feet tall and stays remarkably narrow at just 2-3 feet wide. This strongly columnar growth habit makes it perfect for tight spaces where traditional shrubs won't fit. Shop at Nature Hills for this space-saving vertical accent.

Does White Pillar® Rose of Sharon require full sun or can it handle some shade?

  • White Pillar® Rose of Sharon thrives in full sun for best flowering and maintains its columnar form. It can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer blooms and become less compact. For optimal summer-to-fall flowering, plant in a location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Is White Pillar® Rose of Sharon deer resistant?

  • White Pillar® Rose of Sharon is deer resistant when used with proper repellent applications. The shrub's natural characteristics help deter browsing, but consistent repellent use ensures reliable protection. Apply deer repellent regularly during growing season for best results.

Does White Pillar® Rose of Sharon need pruning, and when?

  • White Pillar® Rose of Sharon naturally maintains its columnar shape with minimal pruning needed. Light pruning in late winter or early spring helps maintain form and removes any winter damage. Shop this low-maintenance shrub at naturehills.com.

Are the flowers on White Pillar® Rose of Sharon double or single, and what color?

  • White Pillar® Rose of Sharon produces semi-double, pure white flowers from mid-summer through fall. The large, tropical-looking blooms have a sophisticated appearance that glows beautifully in moonlight. These semi-double flowers produce very few seeds compared to single varieties, making maintenance easier.
