Do you want a pretty plant in the garden that is covered with ruffles and frills? Then Pink Chiffon Rose of Sharon is the plant you want in the garden! A floriferous plant with ruffled double pink blossoms that have tiny streaks of red in them!
Besides the beautiful flowers, Pink Chiffon is a tough plant in the landscape. It is salt tolerant, deer resistant, heat loving and drought tolerant. It is highly attractive to butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects as well. It is a deciduous shrub which means it loses it leave for the winter but blooms on new wood.
Pink Chiffon Rose of Sharon Care
Pink Chiffon is an easy care plant for gardeners. Full sun for best flowers and growth, hardy from Zone 5a – 9b, just average water and she will reward you with a multitude of flowers all summer long. Pink Chiffon blooms on new wood so if you want to do any pruning you should do it the previous fall. It will grow in just about any soil except standing water so that shouldn’t be a concern.
Pink Chiffon Rose of Sharon Spacing
Pink Chiffon is a large shrub so give it some room to show off. Plant at least 6-7 ft. apart because the shrub grows 3-4 feet wide and 8 – 12 feet tall. You can also plant as a hedge, as the focal point in a large container or as a mass planting. Pink Chiffon adds a wonderful vertical element in the garden.

New Wood
?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
- When to Prune
