Its flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds; the same source lists deer resistance. Leave room for the mature height and spread, and expect flowers on new wood. [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hibiscus/paraplu-rouge-rose-sharon-hibiscus-syriacus) ## Seasonal display The blooms continue from summer into fall, with a graceful upright outline and green foliage. Full sun supports the strongest flowering and color, though Proven Winners notes that the shrub can also flower reasonably well in partial shade.

Pruning is optional; if needed, do it in early spring, and allow time for the shrub to leaf out later in the season.
