Bali™ Tree Form First Editions® Rose of Sharon

Bali™ tree form presents the First Editions selection Hibiscus syriacus ‘Minfren’ as a small landscape tree or specimen. It carries semi-double white flowers with a bold purple-red center from July through September. ## Planting and Display The upright tree form suits a small landscape where a flowering specimen can anchor a border or patio view. First Editions gives a mature range of 5–8 feet high by 4–7 feet wide, with full sun exposure and hardiness in USDA Zones 5–8. The flowers are pure white with a purple-red center, and the foliage is dark green.

Rose of Sharon is a deciduous shrub species; training this cultivar as a tree form keeps the named flower selection while changing its landscape presentation.

The grower describes Bali™ as heat tolerant, drought tolerant, and suited to alkaline soils; young plants still need regular watering as they establish. Prune in early spring to maintain the intended tree outline, and use balanced fertilizer according to its label.
