Description: You will receive 10 freshly cut 12 inch cuttingsKeep Reading to find out how to plant your cuttingsRose of Sharon, Purple Pillar forms a narrow, somewhat pyramidal pillar, which makes it ideal for creating screens or vertical accents in the mixed border. The pinkish-purple 5" flowers have dramatic darker purple-pink flares at the center. Purple Pillar is sterile, so its blooms never set seed or become a nuisance. The blossoms and unique form make this plant a compelling addition to yards and gardens A Hibiscus syriacus, commonly called rose of Sharon, Hibiscus 'Purple Pillar' is multi stemmed shrub with a moderate growth rate of 1 to 2 feet a year and an upright, bushy, columnar habit of attractive 3-lobed, coarsely toothed foliage. The plant can be trained as a small tree or espalier. It is an excellent specimen or foundation plant but also works well massed or grouped as a hedge, screen, or a back of the bed or border plant.Keep Reading to find out how to plant your cuttings Remarkably easy to grow, rose of Sharon prefers full sun to part shade and fertile, organically rich, moderately moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, but it tolerates poor soils and some drought and is pH adaptable. It loves hot summers and blooms best in 6 to 8 hours of full sun. Good air circulation is important for disease prevention and for best overall performance. It is fairly pest and disease free; deer resistant; and heat, humidity (with good air circulation), air pollution, and mildly salt tolerant. Cold hardy for hibiscus, it can over winter in temperatures as cold as 20 degrees below zero with a heavy mulch covering the root ball to insulate it.Purple Pillar Hibiscus has a naturally attractive form and only needs pruning to tidy up its shape and/or to maintain a desired size. Pruning back stems also encourages more blooms and can increase air circulation within the plant to help prevent disease, but pruning should be done sparingly, after flowering has finished. Removing up to ⅓ of the overall shrub creates a fuller bush with larger blooms. Keep in mind that these shrubs bloom directly on older wood or on shoots that come off old wood.Keep Reading to find out how to plant your cuttings GenusHibiscusSpeciessyriacusVarietyPurple PillarItem FormcuttingsZone5 - 9Bloom Start to EndEarly Summer - Late SummerHabitUprightHeight10 ftWidth8 ftAdditional CharacteristicsDouble Blooms, Easy Care Plants, FlowerBloom ColorPurpleFoliage ColorDark GreenLight RequirementsFull Sun, Part ShadeMoisture RequirementsDry, Moist, well-drainedResistanceDrought Tolerant, Heat TolerantSoil ToleranceNormal, loamy, PoorUsesBeds, Border, Specimen Planting your Cuttings from Rose of SharonWhen to take rose of Sharon cuttings is not complicated, as taking cuttings from rose of Sharon bushes is easy and versatile. You can do it at almost any time of year and plant it in a few different ways.In early to midsummer, take green rose of Sharon plant cuttings. This means you should cut the shoots from the bush that grew in spring. In late fall or even winter, take hardwood cuttings that have been on the bush for at least one season.Cut stems that are between 4 and 10 inches (10-25 cm.) long and remove all but the top few leaves.Planting Rose of Sharon CuttingsRooting rose of Sharon cuttings can be done in a couple of ways as well. First of all, you can dip your cutting (the bottom end with the leaves removed) in a rooting hormone ( a great rooting hormone is cinnamon ) and stick it into a pot of soil. Eventually, roots and new foliage should start to grow. Alternatively, you can place your rose of Sharon plant cuttings straight into the ground in the spot of your choice. You should really only do this in the summer. The plant may be in a little more danger, but you won’t have to transplant it later on. If you plant a few cuttings this way, you’re bound to have success. 🥰 I GUARANTEE 100% SATISFACTION TO ALL OF MY BUYERS! 🥰 If there is any problem at all with your order, please contact me and I will correct it and PLEASE have patience and give me 24 hours to answer you PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK UNTIL YOU CONTACT ME NEGATIVE FEEDBACK RAISES THE PRICES FOR SELLERS ON EBAY THROUGH EBAY FEES, SO PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK RESPONSIBLY AND GIVE ME EVERY CHANCE TO GIVE YOU MY 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE All of the Negative Feedback I received could have been avoided with simple communication and patience
