Latin Name: Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Pillar'

Description: This exotic looking beauty showcases oodles of bold, semi-double, rose-pink vase-shaped blossoms with delicate pink undertones and deep red sprays along the throats. A central style covered in creamy, ivory stamens protrudes from the center of each bloom, contrasting nicely with the vibrant petals. The blossoms decorate this compact bush from mid summer until the first frost, appearing over the waxy dark-green, ovate, deeply-lobed foliage. A pollinator favourite, this Rose of Sharon variety is sure to add a touch of elegance to your late-summer garden beds.
