Rose of Sharon show

My rose of sharons are blooming-big and newbies. Here's Ardens.

Lucy has begun.

Here's a closeup.

Minerva.

Don't know the name of this double white. But it's a big bush.

I'll send more pics when they are peaking.

WOW I love them. I just got some ROS seeds, can't wait to start them. I have never had them before, but my neighbor does, not sure what kind they are, but are they pretty :)

Thanks for sharing

What wonderful pictures! They, and everything else in the pictures, look so healthy and pretty.

Those are really nice! What the heck do you feed them. Mine is much smaller than that...

Thanks everyone. I don't feed them at all but they are downwind of a hayfield that a local farmer manures twice a year. They are big because they are probably 20 years old. They were planted by the former owner. I also have a very large weeping cherry between the 2 Ardens. More to come.

I just rooted some of mine to share.

OOOOHHHHH those are beauties!!!

My eyes just turned and unfortunate shade of green.

Those are great! Is the white White Chiffon?

booj--really pretty flowering bushes...s

orry to be so ignorant, but is there another name for Rose of Sharon? I am a newbie, of course, but I do not know of them...Very pretty.

Latin name is Hibiscus syriacus, also althea.
I'm not sure if the double white is White Chiffon or another double white (Jeanne D'Arc?).

boojum, would love to trade a cutting of your double white, email me if you are interested.

Thanks,
Vi
