$25.99
Pink Hibiscus Syriacus
Pink Hibiscus Syriacus is an elegant garden species coveted by many TN Nursery customers.
It can reach a mature height of around twelve feet and grow to eight feet wide. The lovely, bright pink blossoms are perfect for a cottage garden, a pollinator garden, or as a focal point in a rock garden.
The Pink Hibiscus Syriacus is an Asian native species. However, it is well-adjusted to the moderate USDA growing zones across the United States. It is not fussy and cares nothing about soil quality. In fact, 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 Syriacus is resilient against drought--give it a little water to help it out, and it will bounce back from extreme heat with little effort.
Other common names for the Pink Hibiscus Syriacus:
The hibiscus shrub, when referring to pink or other colors in the family, also carries other common names, including the following:
Hibiscus
Pink Cashmere
Rose of China
Rose-of-Sharon
Rose of Sharon
Shrub Althea
It is worth noting that, despite its nicknames that suggest otherwise, it has no relationship to the roses in your garden.
Pink Hibiscus Syriacus Will Attract Helpful Visitors to Your Backyard
Pollinator insects, like bees, moths, butterflies, and hummingbirds, will be unable to resist the bright pink 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 the hibiscus, whitetail deer seem to dislike it. Deer will only opt to feast on your shrub when it fails to find tastier options.
Pink Hibiscus Syriacus Is a Gardener's Favorite Species
Flowers emerge on the Pink Hibiscus Syriacus by mid-summer. In the hottest USDA 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 pink with a deeper pink 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 pink petals. Most hibiscus flowers only survive for a single day, with a new one replacing it quickly.
The glossy, deep green foliage of this shrub is also beautiful. The leaves alternate along the stem and have coarse teeth around the margins.

Other than that, the spirea shrub needs only an occasional trimming.
Pink Spirea Flowers Attract Springtime Pollinators
The springtime blossoms attract some early-season pollinators, which will help support garden health. Bees and butterflies will find the bright pink flowers practically irresistible. Besides those pollinator insects, small birds will enjoy the shade of the emerging green leaves--tracking pollen as they hop from branch to branch.

Pink spirea grows upright and has multiple arching branches. The bark is light brown, somewhat smooth, and semi-glossy. It develops small oval leaves, dark green with finely toothed edges and an oval shape. Leaves are under three inches long and one or two inches wide. In the fall, they will likely turn russet or amber.
The flowers emerge in the spring in a stunning shade of true pink. Each flower is multiple-petaled and dainty; however, they join other blooms in large, show-off clusters that give the appearance of one large flower. The effect is breathtaking and worthy of serving as a focal point in a springtime garden.

Forsythia Shrub Makes An Idea Hedge in Your Landscape
When customers call TN Nursery asking for help finding a species that will grow fast to cover an eyesore, we often recommend this shrub.
Forsythia grows fast, making it an ideal option for a privacy hedge, to establish a property boundary, or in a natural area that needs some lovely color. Also worth noting is that the forsythia shrub is unbothered by low air quality, so landscapers often install it in an urban garden setting--park, playground, or any other city environment.
Select a full-sun spot in the yard--it needs at least six hours of direct sunshine. Forsythia will tolerate partial sunlight, but it might not bloom as profusely without direct sun.
During the first year or two, provide your young forsythia with about an inch of water each week, especially during the long and hot mid-summer days. Once established, it will not require this extra step.
Because it is a fast grower, most prune the forsythia to control the height in the early fall. Avoid pruning in the springtime, or you will sacrifice the gorgeous yellow flowers.

Witch Hazel is a shrub or small tree native to the North American, European, and Asian continents. It can grow as tall as twenty-five feet high, but many gardeners prune them into a lower, shrub-like appearance.

It's a relatively fast grower, with a rapid growth rate of two to three feet per growing season. When gardeners reach out to TN Nursery seeking advice on a low but dense shrub to define their property line, we often recommend witch hazel.
Witch Hazel Use in Your Garden
Witch hazel is a cold-hardy, drought-hardy, deer-resistant shrub. It grows well across most of the contiguous United States, regardless of soil type. When you plant it, find a partially sunny location and amend the soil with peat moss or mulch to give it the organic matter it needs. After you establish the plant, it requires little care other than occasional fertilizing.
Some gardeners let witch hazel grow to its full height, especially when they want privacy or to block an unsightly view. However, others will groom it into a long, low hedge around a home's foundation or in a formal garden setting.
Witch Hazel Is a Highly Attractive Shrub or Tree
Witch hazel has light brown, smooth bark that forms an intriguing zig-zag pattern. Leaves unfurl and bring a refreshing dose of green in the early springtime. Each leaf is small, approximately four inches long, oval-shaped, and has slight toothiness along the edges.

The plant develops tall, prominent spikes that display the most familiar feature that makes this plant so famous--its brown or copper-toned cylindrical flower, a water garden classic.
The cattail plant spreads through a vigorous underground root system. Many gardeners who want just a few for ornamental use will plant them in containers, then submerge them in about three feet of water to control the growth.

Coontail Plant (Ceratophyllum demersum)
Coontail Plant: Ceratophyllum demersum, aka the hornwort or coontail plant, is a perennial herb that will grow either fully or partially submerged in slow-moving water. A North American native species, particularly to Florida and the warm Gulf Coast region of Texas, the herb grows best in the warm to hot USDA plant hardiness zones.
The plant takes its common name from its unique appearance. Its leaves are fan-shaped and feathery, growing in lovely whorls around a central stem--this gives it a shape similar to a raccoon's tail.
The Otherworldly Look of the Coontail Plant
The hornwort plant has no roots; it is an olive or dark green, free-floating species with a central stem that nourishes the leaves. The coontail plant can reach up to fifteen feet long and sometimes reaches up toward the sun and out of the water. However, the stem must remain at least partially submerged.
This aquatic species appears in nature in sluggish waters: slow-moving streams or creeks, lakes, protected freshwater inlets, or other calm waters. In the late summer, the hornwort develops fluffy, otherworldly blooms that float on top of the water's surface in the warm temperature zones. However, the blossoms can appear anytime in hotter climates.
The lovely green herb pollinates underwater when gentle currents carry pollen in the water.
The Coontail Plant Is Lovely in Your Pond or Water Garden
TN Nursery customers almost exclusively use the hornwort to add a unique decorative touch to a pond or stream on their property. Because the plant must stay submerged in relatively warm water to thrive, you must provide a full sunshine location with more than a few inches of water.
