I have been pruning my Rose of Sharon trees for 27 years I do it every other year . 🤔🌺🌲🌺🤔 All of my trees are 18 to 20 feet tall. 🙂 The rose of Sharon comes from the Hibiscus family and has a high amount of vitamin C . 🙂🌺🌲🌺🙂 The Rose of Sharon is edible and medical from its leaves and its flowers and its young seed pods. 🤔😃🤔 The rose of Sharon grows quickly and spreads quickly as well . 🙂🌲🌺🌲🙂 I dry the Young leaves and the flowers and make tea out of it. ☕🌿🌺🌿☕ It is wonderful for sore throats. 🤔 It is wonderful for urinary tract infections . 🤔 It is good for high blood pressure and high cholesterol and diabetes . 🤔 The rose of Sharon is beautiful and many insects love the flower 🌺 like the bumble bees and butterflies and hummingbirds . 🙂🌺🙂 God bless the American people . 🙏🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing. Yes, some varieties of Rose of Sharon get HUGE! I'm glad this is a tpe that stays on the small side. Proven Winners has a new type that stays very columnar.
I just purchased rose of Sharon in pots from Home Depot. Yes, they were clearance because of the season. It looks dormant for the most part with a few unopened blooms. I live in Tennessee and it’s about to get very cold probably in the next couple of weeks. How do I overwinter this Rose of Sharon in the pot? Do I cover it and leave it inside the garage? Do I cover it and leave it outside where it could possibly get rained and snowed on? Or do I not cover it at all? Thanks
How exciting! When they are fully dormant and have dropped all their leaves, they really don't need much water. They are also pretty hardy. Either way should work. If you leave outside, I would put close to the house so they have a bit of shelter. You'll need to make sure they drain well so the roots don't rot. If you bring into unheated garage, I would wait until they are fully dormant. It is ok to wait until they drop leaves because they bloom on next year's growth anyway. For me, they usually do that by Dec 1st. Then, I would give about a cup of water each month to them. Hope that helps!
Thank you!
Thanks! This is the most helpful video I have found.

All those cuttings that you put in that bucket. Make them into six to eight inch cuttings. Stick them in the ground and you can grow more.

Thanks so much! That was very helpful 😊. Do they prefer full sun all day or need some shade? (I’m in zone 6b)
I find they do well in either. They don't like to sit in water.
