Noteworthy Characteristics
Morning Star is the best, strongest growing, white variety of Rose of Sharon we've come across. It has performed very well in our trial gardens here in Zone 8a of mid-Georgia. An abundance of large, white flowers centered with red are produced during the summer. Like crape Myrtles they seem to just keep on blooming for up to three months.
Uses
Rose of Sharon are most useful in the landscape as a single specimen, however, can be planted in straight or curved rows to form a hedge. If preferred, Rose of Sharon can be limbed up to make the perfect tree form focal plant. No need to worry about seedlings or sprouts coming up from the roots. We haven't noticed this bothersome trait.
Culture & Care
Rose of Sharon are easy to grow preferring a well-drained moist soil and planty of sunshine. Some shade will be tolerated but flowering won't be as heavy. Mainentance is minimal requiring little or no pruning. Drought tolerant after established.
