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.
