Regal Rose of Sharon
The Rose of Sharon is a royal and regal looking flower - and it literally is the easiest flower to grow. Simply: plant, water and leave.
I have 3 different varieties of the Rose of Sharon as seen in this post. This flower is related to the Hibiscus plant and if you look closely - the middle of each Rose of Sharon flower resembles that of the Hibiscus.
The Rose of Sharon does not have a scent. This flowering bush can grow up to 12 feet in height. It starts to flower at the end of July and continues to bloom for more than 1 month. Last summer was extremely hot and my Rose of Sharon bushes only flowered for about 3 weeks. This summer is much cooler and we are headed into the fifth week of blooming!
Please ENJOY the pictures!
