Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) produces rich dark lavender flowers that bloom throughout the summer. This plant unexpectedly grew next to its parent, Lavender Chiffon®, and has been propagated ever since.
This Rose of Sharon is heat, drought and salt tolerant. Deer do not like it, but butterflies and hummingbirds do. It is deciduous, which means it loses its leaves every winter. In a container, it is an upright thriller. However, Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon requires a very large container. It can be used as a specimen, border plant, screening, mass planting, or in the landscape. Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon is native to Asia, from China to India.
Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon Care
The plant grows in USDA zones 5b-9b and requires full sunlight to grow. It should be fertilized with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs each spring. Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon doesn’t tolerate really wet or very dry soil. It prefers medium moisture and well drained soil.
You can prune the Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon in the spring and that will make it branch out and grow more flowers. You can also prune it to be a small tree. Either way, it produces little or no seeds, so you do not have to worry about it taking over the flowerbed or landscape.
Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon Spacing
This large shrub grows to be 8-12 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide. Make sure you allow for the mature size of the shrub when making decisions for its placement. Allow a spacing of 6-10 feet between the shrub and a house, sidewalk, or other plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
