It’s impossible to resist the stunning flowers of Paraplu Pink Ink® Rose of Sharon. Bright white petals accented by a vivid, tie-dye splash of deep pink draw the eye instantly—and with good reason. These oversized blooms appear in abundance through the height of summer, supported by bright green foliage and a graceful, upright habit.

Unlike older, oversized varieties, Paraplu Pink Ink® offers a more refined, space-conscious shape—taller than it is wide—making it perfect for foundation plantings, borders, or as a striking vertical accent. Its energetic blooms harmonize beautifully in colorful garden beds or stand out as a dramatic focal point in more minimalist settings.

Tough as it is showy, this Rose of Sharon thrives in heat, handles drought, shrugs off deer, and continues to bloom for weeks—delighting pollinators and gardeners alike.
