Upright Habit, So Versatile!
No room for a traditional Hibiscus? This statuesque beauty with its super-narrow upright habit, just 2-3’ wide, has unlimited landscape potential – tall narrow hedges, screens, entry ways, formal gardens or simply a quirky accent. Jam-packed throughout the summer with semi-double lavender flowers with a red eye. No need to prune unless a controlled height is desired. Seeds are sterile, so none of the rampant seeding the older species can exhibit. Award-winning with its columnar habit, Hibiscus Purple Pillar is a bold perennial shrub perfect for adding desirable vertical accent to any garden. Sure to be a conversation piece.

Hibiscus General Information

Hibiscus are very useful for the mid summer to early fall bloom. Tolerant of a wide variety of soils except very wet or very dry sites. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Hibiscus Plant Care

Pruning can be done in late spring. If desired (but usually not necessary) Rose of Sharon can be heavily pruned by removing undesired stems at ground level. Shaping is okay when desired.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
