Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'SMNHSPCL') is a vibrant upgrade to the classic Chiffon® series, offering darker, richer purple blooms with the same graceful, ruffled flowers. This upright, heat- and drought-tolerant shrub reaches 8–12 feet tall and 6–10 feet wide, making it ideal for hedging, screening, or as a specimen plant.¶This selection thrives in full sun, blooms on new wood, and provides an extended flowering season from early summer through fall. It attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, yet remains deer-resistant. Its strong branching and refined habit ensure better performance in both retail sales and landscapes, making it a standout addition to any nursery or commercial planting project.
