Pink Hibiscus shrubs or Syriacus is an elegant garden species coveted by many T.N. Nursery customers. It can reach a mature height of around twelve feet and grow to eight feet wide. The lovely, bright rosey blossoms are perfect for a cottage garden, a pollinator garden, or as a focal point in a rock garden.
Pink Hibiscus Shrubs Are A Very Hardy Type
It is an Asian native species but well-adjusted to the moderate U.S.D.A. growing zones across the United States. It is not fussy and cares nothing about soil quality. Infact, it will tolerate different growing mediums—sand, rocks, or clay. All it asks of you is a moist spot that facilitates fast drainage.
Pink Hibiscus is resilient against drought--give it a little water to help it out, and it will bounce back from extreme heat with little effort.
The bush, when referring to rose or other colors in the family, also carries other common names, including the following:
- Rosey Cashmere
- Rose of China
- Rose-of-Sharon
- Rose of Sharon
- Shrub Althea
It is worth noting that, despite its nicknames suggesting otherwise, it is not related to the roses in your garden.
This Pink Shrub Will Attract Helpful Visitors
Pollinator insects, like bees, moths, butterflies, and hummingbirds, cannot resist the bright rose petals on your Rose of Sharon.
While the vibrant flowers might attract pollinators, nearby ground-feeding birds will seek refuge in the abundant foliage, building their nests where they'll avoid predators.
Despite many animals loving it, whitetail deer seem to dislike it. Deer will only feast on your bush when they cannot find tastier options.
This Shrub Blooms From Summer To Late Fall
Flowers emerge on the Syriacus by mid-summer. In the hottest U.S.D.A. growing zones, the show of color might carry on until the middle to end of fall.
These show-off flowers are large, up to four inches across, with a deep hue of rose with a deeper rose brushing against the inner petals. They have a rich double layer of five cashmere-soft petals. The flower's center is a cheerful bright yellow, creating a breathtaking contrast against the warm rosey petals. Most flowers only survive for a single day, with a new one replacing it quickly.
The Pink Shrub Has Glossy Foliage And Stunning Blooms
The Pink Hibiscus bush's glossy, deep green foliage is also beautiful. The leaves alternate along the stem and have coarse teeth around the margins.
