Product Description: Sugar Tip Rose of Sharon
Hardy Hibiscus with Bright, Variegated Foliage
Rose of Sharon Sugar Tip, Hibiscus syriacus \’America Irene Scott’, is an eye-catching new Rose of Sharon with brightly variegated foliage.
The bluish-green leaves have lovely creamy-white margins and are topped with loads of clear pink, double flowers.
Hibiscus Sugar Tip does not produce seed like older cultivars which makes it perfect for both southern and northern climates.
Sugar Tip is easy to grow in full sun and normal garden soils. It is an excellent flowering shrub that may be massed, planted in groups or used as a specimen; very tolerant of summer heat and humidity.
Larger flowers may be obtained on \’America Irene Scott’ by pruning back hard to 2-3 buds in early spring.
A confection too delicious to resist, you can use Sugar Tip as an accent specimen in the garden, or make it a breathtaking hedge! You will be the envy of your neighborhood!
This garden plant is sure to provide many years of enjoyment!
