Purple Hibiscus Syriacus

Purple Hibiscus Syriacus: A beautiful specimen with a maximum reach of about twelve feet and a spread of eight feet, the Syriacus is a stunning woody shrub. It can liven up any sunny location in your landscape.

The Purple Hibiscus Syriacusis an Asian native shrub, but it is well-suited to the middle USDA growing zones in the United States. It is unfussy about soil quality and doesn't even mind clay, sand, or even a few rocks--as long as the water drains well.

Syriacus is moderately drought-tolerant. It can withstand short dry spells with occasional watering.

Other Common Names for Syriacus

This species, regardless of color, also carries other common names, including the following:

  • Hibiscus
  • Rose of China
  • Rose of Sharon
  • Rose-of-Sharon
  • Shrub Althea

Despite the nickname Rose of Sharon, this species has no relation to roses.

Pollinator Species Love the Syriacus

Pollinator insects, like butterflies and bees, along with hummingbirds and songbirds, will visit your Rose of Sharon. The insects and hummingbirds will find the bright purple and scarlet irresistible. On the other hand, ground-feeding birds will seek refuge from threats in the profuse foliage.

One animal that does not love Syriacus is the deer. They'd prefer to find something less fragrant to eat and will only consume your Syriacus as a last resort.

Purple Hibiscus Syriacus Is an Incredibly Beautiful Shrub

The main attraction of the Purple Syriacus is the abundance of flowers that appear in the middle of summer. In warmer growing zones, the blossoms might continue into the latest days of fall.

The flowers can be as large as four inches with two layers of five crepe-like petals. Most blooms last for one day, and a fresh flower appears quickly behind it.

The lavender-to-purple petals contrast against a tinge of scarlet in the inner part of each petal and a yellow or spring-green center.

The foliage of this shrub is also head-turning. Glossy, dark green leaves have coarse toothiness around the edges. They alternate along the stem, fuller at the bottoms of the branches and thinning slightly near the tips.
