Purple Satin® Althea produces large rich purple single Hibiscus like flowers throughout summer. This is a sterile Rose of Sharon or Althea that doesn't waste energy on seed production and so it produces many more flowers over a longer season. The Rose of Sharon is a vigorous easy to grow naturally upright to vase shaped shrub that also makes great tree standards, hedges, or screens. Provide ample sunlight and a well-drained, fertile soil. The Rose of Sharon or Althea is an easily grown deciduous shrub that was once a common pass along plant. This durable shrub is tolerant of a wide variety of soil types, is moderately drought tolerant once well established (though it will flower more with adequate moisture and fertility), and will provide many years of enjoyment with its procession of summer flowers.
