    Very narrow and very decorative, this incredible fastigiate Rose of Sharon grows 10-16' tall and only 2-3' wide! Summer finds it abundantly covered with large, showy, semi-double purple flowers. This wonderful shrub makes a great screen, entrance or patio plant. S/M PP25568

    By: Forestfarm

    A useful column of deciduous foliage that grows 10-16’ tall that stays a mere 2-3’ wide without pruning! Flowers mid-summer to early fall with semi-double lavender flowers with dark red centers, attracting butterflies and hummers. Perfect for low maintenance hedges, lining an entry, as a formal specimen in a large container (or two in matching pots for symmetry); best in full sun, most soils (clay is ok), will need at least occasional water in dry seasons. Enjoys the coast. Deer resistant. Does not set seed.
