Rose of Sharon - Freedom

The Freedom Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus 'Freedom', is an old-fashion favorite in a newer, improved form! This outstanding variety produces huge, luminous red double blooms from summer to fall. 'Freedom' has lustrous dark green leaves that remain attractive all season. This is a hardy, easy-care plant that provides up to four months of continuous eye-catching color! In early spring cut most branches back by about 1/3 or even more, always leaving at least 2 to 3 nodes on each branch. The new growth that emerges will be strong and will blend in with the rest of the plant. 'Freedom' makes a wonderful flowering hedge or screen and thrives in heat, humidity, drought and even poor soils. It will tolerate light shade, but will not flower as well. ... additional information
