#ProPlantTips for Care:
Sugar Tip® Althea is an easy-to-grow Rose of Sharon, growing best in full sun and normal garden soils that are enriched and well-drained. They even tolerate poor soil and can be drought-tolerant once established. Tolerant of summer heat and humidity, Althea appreciates a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch and regular moisture. Though tolerant of periods of drought, this plant will benefit greatly from a 3 to 4-inch layer of arborist mulch spread to 3 feet outside of the canopy. This will help keep the root system cool in the summer and extend the period between watering.
Make sure to water regularly in containers. Feed with organic slow-release fertilizer twice a year in the late winter and mid-summer to keep plants growing and blooming well. This will ensure a proliferation of large flowers beginning in the late spring.
Larger flowers may be obtained by pruning back hard to 2-3 buds in the very early spring. For the largest flowers prune back your Althea in the late winter. Renewal prune every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.
- Full Sun For The Most Blooms
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Prune Early Spring
- Tolerates Most Soils, Including Poor Soil
- Somewhat Drought Tolerant & Salt Tolerant
- Few If Any Viable Seeds
