Description
For those of you who love Crape Myrtles, you’ll also love Rose of Sharon. We consider Rose of Sharon one of the the most under-rated flowering ornamental plants in the plant world. The Rose of Sharon is very easy to grow and requires little to no maintenance. We have many Rose of Sharon planted in our own gardens and rarely have to touch them. No insect or disease problems. No issues with heat or drought. Deer won’t touch them…and, best of all, the masses of beautiful flowers keep coming for months providing a long show of color!
With its unique and columnar form, the White Pillar Rose of Sharon is sure to put an exclamation point on your landscape. An abundance of pure white semi-double flowers appear all summer long adding even more appeal in the garden. The flowers are a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in an upright columnar form 10 to 16 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, the White Pillar Rose of Sharon is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, as a hedge, or to frame entryways in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Plant one near the patio or other outdoor living spaces so you can enjoy the flowers and the butterflies and hummingbirds that will visit them.Â
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 2 to 2.5 feet apart for a solid hedge; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Rose of Sharon is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Rose of Sharon are very easy to grow and maintain. Simply plant them where the sun shines most of the day. Some light shade is tolerated but too much shade and plants will become leggy and flowering is diminished. They are not too particular about soil type and quite drought tolerant once established. Constantly soggy soil or standing water can be problematic. They require little if any pruning, though a stray or broken branch can be removed any time of year.

Ordered 3 online, first time customer. The 3 gal. containers were expertly secured, packaged and handled. They processed our order quickly which arrived sooner than expected. We were impressed with how well the scrubs were stabilized in their boxes, their overall condition and the care taken to keep soil moist, contained and prevented from spillage. Outstanding service, HIGHLY recommend. It’s nice to run into a company that takes PRIDE in their work and products. Well done!!!———————————————WOW! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I ordered three White Pillar Rose of Sharon this fall and of course things are a little skimpy this time of year. But instead of shipping a plant that isn’t up to standard, Gabie DeSiena, Wilson Bros Customer Service Manager, went out of her way to take pictures of the plants that I ordered and email me to get my thoughts if I wanted to still process my order. So smart! Any other online nursery would have just sent the plants and hope that the customer would be satisfied. Wilson Bros and Gabie are amazing! Thank you!————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
