Blue Chiffon produces large blue-lavender flowers each adorned with a lacy center to create an anemone-like bloom that stands out in late summer to early fall. Refined, rounded habit with soft, elegant stems, that produces few to no seeds. It is heat, drought, and salt tolerant, deer resistant, and attracts pollinators to boot! Whether you plant one striking specimen or mix and match for a colorful collection, you will see that Chiffon series Roses of Sharon are anything but conventional.

Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Requires well-draining soil. Regular pruning is not necessary. If any shaping is desired, do so in early spring. Note that Rose of Sharon is quite late to leaf out in spring, so be patient with it.
