Hibiscus syriacus Purple Pillar®

An award-winning Rose of Sharon, Purple Pillar® forms a narrow, somewhat pyramidal pillar, which makes it ideal for creating screens or vertical accents in the mixed border. The pinkish-purple 5" flowers have dramatic darker purple-pink flares at the center. Purple Pillar® is sterile, so its blooms never set seed or become a nuisance. The blossoms and unique form make this plant a compelling addition to yards and gardens. A Proven Winners® variety. 'Gandini Santiago' PP 25,568

If you're the type who goes for minuscule flowers, then Hibiscus is not a genus for you. The plants produce big bright flowers that appear endlessly starting in high summer. The genus includes a diverse bunch of annuals, perennials, and shrubs, both tender and hardy. Our interest is in the hardy shrubby type, commonly known as Rose of Sharon. Plants are upright growing and compact, with handsome notched leaves. New selections have larger, fuller flowers in a wider range of colors. They flourish in sunny situations in a well-drained soil.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery.
