Glowing Summer Blooms
Vibrant-colored blooms are often the stars of the garden, but white flowers can be just as captivating, especially in the summer heat. Paraplu® Pure White rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) offers breathtaking, all-white blooms that practically glow in the landscape. Luminous day or night, it is a stunning addition to any outdoor space, pairing seamlessly with whatever flower and foliage combinations you already have in your garden.
Paraplu Pure White rose of Sharon delivers a dazzling summer display with long-lasting flowers that fully open into large, flat discs. The lush green foliage creates a striking contrast, making the crisp white blooms appear even brighter. Maturing to 5–8′ tall and 5–6′ wide, this variety makes a great choice for a hedge, specimen, or foundation planting.
Paraplu Pure White rose of Sharon thrives in USDA zones 5–9. It loves the sun, performing best when planted in areas that receive 6+ hours of direct sunlight. It enjoys any type of well-draining soil and displays decent drought tolerance once established. This variety does have high nutrient needs, so we recommend applying fertilizer each spring after its first year in the ground. Regular pruning is not necessary, as Paraplu Pure White naturally maintains its upright habit. Any shaping you choose to do can be done in early spring.
