Proven Winners Rose of Sharon

For the best results and continuous purple blooms, this shrub needs full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day.

Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, it is much less likely to be targeted by deer than other common garden shrubs.

Yes, it is container-friendly. Because of its narrow, vertical growth habit, it works well in large pots to create a privacy screen or a focal point on a deck or patio.

While it is drought-tolerant once established, you should provide moderate, consistent watering during its first season to help it develop a strong root system.
