Patriot Red, White, Blue Rose of Sharon Bushes

Show your red, white and blue flowering colors with Patriot Rose of Sharon Bushes. One of Greenwood's favorite flowering shrubs, this one is a combination of red, white and blue Althea shrubs grown together to form a beautiful flowering shrub. Long lasting red, white and blue blooms during summer to fall frosts, make the Patriot Hibiscus a wonderful foundation shrub.

Whether you refer to these plants hardy hibiscus shrubs as hibiscus, Rose of Sharon, althea, rose mallow or swamp mallow, most are plants native to the American Southeast.  As with many flowering shrub varieties, nature doesn't produce a completely true red or blue hardy hibiscus, so you may see variations of deep pinks to reds as well as purples to blues. With red as the dominant plant in this trio of plants, it will grow faster and stronger than the other two. The red flowering shrub may require light pruning to keep in check with the white and blue flowering shrubs.

For long, brilliant blooms, plant your Patriot Rose of Sharon flowering shrubs in full to partial sun with at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Hardy Hibiscus Shrubs are adaptable to moist and well drained soils.
