Looking for a flowering shrub that can handle Texas heat, full summer sun, and winter cold? Meet the Althea, also known as Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)! ๐ฟ
These beautiful deciduous shrubs are a fantastic choice for adding height, structure, and long-lasting summer color to the landscape.

Theyโre great as specimen plants, flowering hedges, privacy screens, or pollinator-friendly additions to the garden.
โ๏ธ Why we love the Rose of Sharon:
Handles heat and full summer sun
Cold hardy and dependable in a wide range of climates
Blooms through the summer, bringing beautiful color when many other shrubs have finished blooming
Attracts butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators
Adds height, structure, and seasonal interest to the landscape
๐ General Mature Size:
~8โ12' Tall ร 6โ10' Wide, depending on variety and growing conditions.
๐ฟ Landscape tip: Rose of Sharon is especially useful when you need a flowering shrub that provides vertical interest and late-season color. Plant several together for a colorful flowering screen, or use one as a specimen to draw the eye.
