Description
Make a bold statement in your landscape with Paraplu Adorned® Rose of Sharon, a striking upright shrub that combines colorful variegated foliage with vibrant summer blooms. Bright yellow new leaves emerge in spring before maturing to dark green with golden variegation, creating season-long interest. From early through late summer, large amethyst-purple flowers with scarlet centers and creamy white anthers cover the branches, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its narrow, vase-shaped habit makes it an excellent choice for mixed borders, privacy screens, or specimen plantings.
Growing up to 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide, Paraplu Adorned® Rose of Sharon thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Hardy in Zones 5 to 8, this adaptable shrub tolerates urban conditions and performs best with consistent moisture and a flowering fertilizer during the growing season. Whether planted in the landscape or a large patio container, it provides months of colorful blooms and attractive foliage with lasting curb appeal.
