The Purple Pillar® Hibiscus is a very special Rose of Sharon, forming a tall vertical bush, 15 feet tall in just a few years, but just 3 feet wide. From June to November it blooms continuously, covered with 4-inch light purple blooms with a glowing dark-red center. Some blooms will be semi-double, especially early in the season. It’s a unique accent specimen, or a screen for privacy in the narrowest space.
- Unique upright column of vertical branches
- Striking 15-foot tall accent tree
- Bright-purple semi-double flowers from June to November
- Terrific pot specimen for a terrace or balcony
- Deer-proof and drought resistant
The Purple Pillar® Hardy Hibiscus will grow and bloom best in full sun, and it is hardy in zone 5, but won’t grow quite as tall. Any well-drained soil suits it, even poor urban soils and sandy ground. Pests, diseases and deer generally leave it alone, and it needs no pruning or trimming to keep its narrow vertical form. It is drought resistant, although a deep soak in the driest parts of summer is always beneficial.
