The Starblast Chiffon™ rose of Sharon is a shrub that sticks out, and not just for its impressive size (though that doesn't hurt). Part of what makes this shrub so special is that it flowers sooner and for longer than many similar varieties, and the flowers that it produces are simply stunning. They are a soft off-white shade, with a burst of bright magenta exploding from the middle. The uniformly green foliage that they sit upon helps to really make those blooms pop!
