Professional Growing Information 
I brought this beautiful Rose of Sharon in 2022 and first planted it in a pot, it did not do so well. So I planted it in the ground and it is blooming like crazy this year. It's still short but I am sure it will grow taller.

The newest member of the incredible CHIFFON® rose of Sharon series! Honestly, we just got lucky with this one. It was growing by its parent Lavender CHIFFON® and since then it has proved it's out and out a richer color. Gardeners who prefer a luscious, rich colored flower will be happy to see Dark Lavender CHIFFON® as a hedge, specimen, or within a border.
Top reasons to plant Dark Lavender Chiffon rose of Sharon in your landscape:
- Darker, more impressive purple blooms than the original Lavender CHIFFON®
- Easy care
- Long blooming in the summertime

Also incredible when pruned into a small tree. This is a great addition to the mixed border, or can be a nice specimen.
Maintenance Notes:Blooms in summer. Grows in any soil unless it is either really wet or dry. Prune in early spring if desired. Prefers medium moisture.
Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. Follow the label for recommended rate of application.
