Description
The Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)
is considered the most common garden hibiscus,
and is native to most of the Asian continent. It is
actually the Korean national flower. It is also quite
common in North America, which is where is received
its name.
Growing to sizes between 2 and 4 meters tall, the Rose
of Sharon grows in a distinctive vase shape.
This flowering shrub is very strong, and branches survive
for a long time if cut from the plant and placed into
a water vase.

commonly seen in colors ranging from white, purple and
pink. This plant is also known as the Rose of
Althea.
