Pink Rose of Sharon – Hibiscus Syriacus 'Pink' Shrub Althea
Vibrant Pink Blooms All Summer Long
The Hibiscus Syriacus 'Pink', also known as the Pink Rose of Sharon or Shrub Althea Pink, is a beautiful, low-maintenance flowering shrub that adds stunning color to any garden from early summer through late fall. This deciduous, multi-stemmed shrub features a compact, vase-shaped habit with lush green foliage that starts pale yellow-green in spring before maturing into a rich medium green.
Throughout the blooming season, the Pink Rose of Sharon is adorned with eye-catching, heavily ruffled blush pink flowers featuring a striking crimson throat and protruding tube-shaped stamens. As a sterile cultivar, it won’t self-seed unless another variety is nearby—meaning fewer seeds and more continuous blooms.
This vigorous grower thrives in full sun to partial sun and attracts a wide range of pollinators, including birds, bees, and butterflies. Whether planted as a stand-alone focal point, in mixed shrub borders, or as a flowering hedge, the Pink Rose of Sharon delivers lasting beauty and easy care.
