Hibiscus syriacus 'Ardens'(Shrubs)

Ardens Althea will be covered in purple double blossoms 3-5 inches in diameter starting around the middle of June and continuing until early fall.  Rose-of-Sharon is valued for large flowers produced in summer when few other shrubs bloom It is useful as a garden accent due to its strict, upright habit. The open, loose branches and light green leaves make Rose-of-Sharon ideally suited to formal or informal plantings, and with a little pruning makes an attractive, small specimen tree. The plant grows in sun or partial shade and in any soil.
