Sugar Tip® Rose of Sharon is a striking semi-dwarf shrub known for its unique, brightly variegated foliage, featuring a beautiful mix of creamy-white and green. This eye-catching plant produces an abundance of clear pink, double flowers throughout the summer, creating a graceful color-on-color effect that enhances any landscape. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller spaces, while its non-seeding nature ensures low-maintenance beauty. Sugar Tip® is an ideal choice for adding vibrant color and texture to gardens, all season long.

I ordered 4 different rose of Sharon they weren’t labeled so I don’t know which is which. They were real small one had some leaves and looked good one just a few leaves and the other 2 just stick. It’s like I was given 2 nice ones to make up the 2 that aren’t. Thank you, Kathy

All plants I ordered looked good/seemed to travel well. Being in Arizona, the weather is perfect for Spring planting now. The only unexpected thing is that I received a Rouge Paraplu Hibiscus instead of a Pink Chiffon Rose of Sharon. I planted the Rouge Paraplu anyway.

I have had a Sugar Tips Rose of Sharon in my garden for several years. Its branch structure, variegated leaves and the abundant and lovely shade of pink flowers are very striking. I attempted to add another to my garden last year but was shipped a mis-labeled plant that I believe to be White Chiffon. I have relocated it and so ordered another Sugar Tips. The plant is dormant so can’t truly know if it is as labeled but is well rooted and well branched.
