    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Purple double flowers with a dark eye are held against the contrasting gold, cream, and green foliage of this double duty Rose of Sharon from summer to fall. Showtime Althea or Rose of Sharon has gold and green new foliage that matures to creamy white and green providing interest even if the plant is not in flower. Plant it near darker green shrubs to enhance the contrast of both. Provide a full to mostly sunny position in the garden and landscape or enjoy Showtime Althea as a medium-sized container plant.
