Red Pillar® Rose of Sharon — Hibiscus syriacus 'GFNHSRP'

Red Pillar® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'GFNHSRP') is a dramatically vertical, eye-catching shrub that delivers one of the longest and most vibrant blooming seasons in the landscape — a tall, narrow columnar deciduous shrub whose large, deep pink flowers with broad, striking dark red centers bloom continuously from midsummer all the way until the first frost, creating a stunning pillar of color in the garden for months on end. The attractive deep green, toothed, maple-like foliage provides a rich backdrop for the abundant flower display and contributes ornamental interest throughout the growing season. The narrow columnar habit makes Red Pillar® an outstanding choice for tight spaces, privacy screens, and hedges where a vertical accent is needed. Butterflies are drawn to the flowers throughout the blooming season. Thrives in full to part sun with moist, well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 5.
