About this plant
Proven Winners Rose of Sharon True Purple Pillar (Hibiscus syriacus Color Choice Purple Pillar) is a showstopping shrub, bringing months of intense, purplish-pink blooms to your landscape. Unlike traditional Rose of Sharon, 'Purple Pillar' boasts a remarkably narrow, columnar habit, making it ideal for smaller spaces, hedging, or as a striking vertical accent. Enjoy its long blooming season from summer into fall, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies to its beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers. This low-maintenance shrub is an excellent choice for a variety of garden styles, from contemporary to cottage. Hardy and adaptable, 'Purple Pillar' is a perfect solution for adding reliable color and structure without taking up excessive width. Its unique growth habit makes it a versatile plant for foundation plantings, borders, or even large containers.
Care & maintenance
Requires minimal pruning to maintain shape; prune in late winter or early spring. Fertilize annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Protect from severe winter winds in exposed locations, especially when young.
