3 White Althea Rose of Sharon Hibiscus Live Plants Hardy Flowering Shrub
White Althea Rose of Sharon Hibiscus is a deciduous flowering shrub admired for its large, single white blooms with a distinct crimson center that appear from midsummer into early fall. Each bare root plant arrives at roughly 12 inches, ready to establish quickly and grow into a graceful upright shrub that adds bright, long-lasting color to mixed borders, hedges, or a sunny foundation planting. Its soft white flowers create a crisp, elegant look against deep green foliage and pair beautifully with other summer bloomers.
This shrub works well as an ornamental accent, an informal flowering hedge, or a background plant in perennial beds. It can also be grown in a large container on a patio where its season-long blooms can be enjoyed up close. It prefers full sun for the heaviest flowering and tolerates a range of well-drained soils once established. Bare root plants should be planted while dormant and watered consistently through the first growing season to encourage strong roots and vigorous top growth.
