Raspberry Smoothie Rose of Sharon (Althea), Dormant Bare Root Starter Flowering Shrub (1-Pack)

Raspberry Smoothie Hibiscus is tough, hardy and soil adaptable. This variety of hibiscus bears deep burgundy buds that open to vivid hot pink crepe-paper flowers. It produces these double blooms during the dog days of summer, when little else is flowering in the garden. The contrast of its blossoms against vibrant green foliage is sure to brighten the sunny areas of your landscape. Planting in groups of three or more, or in line as a privacy hedge, heightens its impact. A butterfly and hummingbird magnet, this shrub is the ideal low-maintenance ornamental. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 8. Each offer includes one dormant bare root plant measuring 15 inches long.
