Double Pink Rose of Sharon Tree turns late summer into a celebration, covering its tidy, tree-form canopy with ruffled, peony-style pink blooms just as many landscapes start to fade. The upright silhouette and finely cut, dark green foliage frame the flowers beautifully, making it an easy focal point for entry beds, patios, and small front yards.
Trained on a single trunk for a clean, “lollipop” look, this standard hibiscus brings color for weeks, invites butterflies and hummingbirds, and asks very little in return. From curb appeal to container displays, it’s a dependable way to extend your flowering season well into fall.
Double Pink Rose of Sharon Tree Care
Give it full sun for the heaviest bloom (6–8+ hours) and plant in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Water deeply the first season to establish; afterward, soak during dry spells but avoid constantly wet roots. Apply a 2–3 inch mulch ring to conserve moisture, keeping mulch a few inches off the trunk.
Prune in late winter or very early spring—flowers form on new growth—by thinning crowded shoots and shortening last year’s tips to shape the canopy. Remove any shoots that sprout from the trunk or below the graft to maintain the standard form. Generally hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, heat tolerant, and reliably low-maintenance.
Double Pink Rose of Sharon Tree Spacing
Expect about 6–10 ft tall and 5–7 ft wide at maturity (canopy size varies with pruning). As a specimen near walks or drives, keep 4–6 ft of clearance from hardscape. For a paired entry planting, space trees 7–9 ft on center for balanced canopies. Along fences or walls, allow 5–6 ft from structures for airflow and easy pruning.
In large containers, choose a sturdy 18–24"+ pot with excellent drainage and set planters 2–3 ft apart so light reaches all sides.

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.

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.
