Proven Winners
Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon
Add height and beauty to your garden!
Uses
Purple Pillar is best planted in the landscape because of its mature size. It is ideal for screening, mass plantings, and it creates height as a specimen or focal point.
It can be used as a thriller in a combination but will need to be planted in the landscape in the fall.
Purple Pillar ships in 4.5 inch quart and 1 gallon containers. The larger the size, the more mature the plant.
Care
Purple Pillar requires full sun, which is 6 hours or more sunlight per day. It prefers soil with good drainage and moderate to low water.
The narrow habit of Purple Pillar means it creates few to no branches, so little to no pruning is required. If you want to prune it, do so in early spring.
Quality
Rose of Sharon shrubs are raised by expert growers in Proven Winners greenhouses in southeast Michigan.
Proven Winners is a nationally-recognized, established plant brand. Its plants are unsurpassed in terms of flowering, growth and garden performance.
Tips for growing Purple Pillar
Blooms
The flowers on Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon are semi-double, which means that they have two or more layers of petals, but that the stamens and pistil are still visible in the center. They attract bees and resist deer.
Height
This unique Rose of Sharon naturally grows as a narrow column instead of a wide, spreading plant. Anywhere you need a little privacy and/or color in a narrow space, this plant is a great choice.
Hardiness Zones
To learn whether Purple Pillar will tolerate conditions where you live, search for your hardiness zone through The United States Department of Agriculture.
Purple Pillar grows best in hardiness zones 5-9, meaning it can handle heat up to zone 9 and cold down to zone 5. The absolute hottest zone in the country is 13 and the coldest is 1.
Dormancy
As a deciduous shrub, Purple Pillar needs to go dormant over the winter in order to preform well the following season. They will drop their leaves in the fall and grow new foliage in the spring.
Hibiscus ships from Michigan, where they are dormant November-April. If you order during winter, store your shrub in a cool place and keep the soil slightly moist until you can plant it in spring.
