How to Use White Pillar® Rose of Sharon in the Landscape
Place one near the side of your front door as a durable accent. Those lean, tall good looks will be a terrific feature all year-long.
Try a pair on either side of your garden gate. Every time you pass between them, you'll revel in a grand sense of entrance.
Take this concept and expand on it. Add a double row in a showy allée along the length of your side yard. Why not make a feature out of a boring, ho-hum area?
Spacing these plants is just as versatile as everything else about these cool plants. For a solid screen, measure 18 inches from the center of one plant to the center of the next.
For an allée, increase the spacing between plants to four or five feet. Allow 12 to 15 feet between the rows.
Repeat their use along the back of your perennial or shrub border to produce a very effective backdrop. Extend the height of your hardscape fence with a solid "living fence" for welcome privacy.
Go all out with an eye-catching garden feature by alternating White Pillar with Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon. Go ahead and some fun in your space!
#ProPlantTips for Care
Give them at least four hours of sunshine a day. More sun means more flowers!
Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis for the best results. Add a three-inch layer of mulch to cover the root system.
New plants need careful attention to water. Once your plants are established, they'll handle a bit of drought. Container-grown plants will always need a medium amount of supplemental water.
White Pillar blooms on new wood, so prune it in early spring. You can shape the sides and tip prune to control the height at that time.
Deer don't prefer the taste, but they are hungry little buggers. If there are deer in your area, apply deer repellent on planting day. Follow reapplication instructions on the label.
Fall in love with the strong structure and flower power of White Pillar® Rose of Sharon. Order yours ASAP, these are a big sell-out risk.
