Huge rosy pink flowers! Producing some of the largest flowers seen on an Althea, Ruffled Satin® Althea produces very large, full, rich rosy pink single flowers beginning in spring and early summer and continuing until fall. A densely growing and nearly sterile Rose of Sharon that doesn't waste energy on seed production and so it produces many more flowers over a longer season. Ruffled Satin® Althea 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 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 will provide many years of enjoyment with its procession of summer flowers.
