Magenta Chiffon® Rose of Sharon

Magenta Chiffon® Rose of Sharon is an upright, deciduous shrub with large double flowers in vivid magenta-pink. Its summer bloom and taller-than-wide habit bring color and structure to sunny borders. ## Landscape use Plant in full sun for the best flowering, allowing room for a mature shrub about 8–12 feet tall and 6–10 feet wide. Use it as a specimen, hedge, screen, or mixed-border accent. The flowers open on new wood, and the cultivar is described as drought tolerant after its first year in the ground. ## Maintenance Regular pruning is unnecessary; shape lightly in early spring if desired. Water while the plant establishes and during extended dry spells. Apply a spring fertilizer if flowering begins to decline.
