White Pillar® Hardy Hibiscus

The White Pillar® Hardy Hibiscus is a unique variety of hardy hibiscus, or Rose of Sharon. It grows into a tall vertical plant, reaching 15 feet within a few years, and staying no more than 4 feet wide, with a slender pyramidal profile. From June to November in warm zones, and for a few weeks less in colder areas, it is covered with large, pure white blossoms. These are semi-double, with a cluster of small petals in the center of an open flower, and very beautiful. A tree makes an amazing lawn specimen and a row is a perfect hedge or screen for a narrow space.

• Unique vertical column of upright branches
• Amazing long-flowering accent tree to 15 feet tall
• Pure-white semi-double flowers from mid-summer through fall
• Excellent as a narrow hedge or screen
• Very easy to grow, needing no special care

The White Pillar® Hardy Hibiscus should be planted in full sun for the best growth, development and flowering. It is hardy in zone 5, but it won’t grow as tall as it will in warmer zones. It grows well in any soil, as long as it is well-drained and not wet. It is normally free of pests and diseases and untouched by deer. A deep soak form time to time during long dry periods in summer is beneficial. Some trimming in spring is possible to keep it extra neat and tidy – otherwise no effort is needed to grow this remarkable plant.
