The leaves are edible, too. When I'm out of lettuce and don't feel like going to the store, I pick several leaves from my Rose of Sharon bushes, wash and dry them, and top sandwiches with them. The taste like lettuce.

[@aliciamarie4156]

This is amazing information!

[@als2140]

When it’s gets windy we have to cut about 50% off to make the plant tough to withstand the wind - how philosophical is this toour own lives as seasons change - we must go through a time of breaking, of cutting so we may withstand what life will throw at us. Be blessed!

[@witherbons8571]

So true have you ever tried to put a gate or something to block the wind a little

[@DarleneHarris-Eagles]

[@DarleneHarris-Eagles]

[@melanieg3563]

Moved into a house 4yrs ago these hibiscus plants were already well established. They are well over 12ft tall. I have cut them back but not down in size. They're beautiful. I've never had to do anything to them. They reach up passed my back deck. So no matter where in the yard or deck you are they're seen from everywhere. It's a beautiful sight. No fertilizer, I don't have to water or use any kind of feed on them. They never fail to bloom. Nothing else grows in my hard, dense, clay soil. But these thrive every year without fail. I believe they've been here for well over 20yrs. As old ones die back the new shoots take over and always bloom thick and colorful.

[@dudleygoodwin4902]

I hear you loud and clear, I never realized Rose of Sharon were supposed to be so delicate, The ones I've been around just grow bloom without any fuss, Plus you end up with bookoo of Rose Sharon's! Not only do they flower nicely but they're very easy to take care of and inexpensive to have !

[@GodJesusHolySpirit77]

Did anyone else notice the little bee that zoomed into the flower as soon as he touched it? 😆😆😆

[@0mnicide]

These flowers (the white and pink kind) popped up in my backyard last week after my grandmother passed away. The area where they came up were just weeds for years and years and then all of a sudden, beautiful flowers.

[@Gesundheit888]

How very sweet. I also believe that there is some connection between us and a loved one who dies. Certainly their spirit is always with us. I felt it many times after my father died very unexpectedly (quite some years ago).

[@risenandreturning]

Thanks for sharing that melted my heart...

[@dianamorris5327]

You don't have to be religious or spiritual to experience unexplainable events. Your grandmother is letting you know she's OK. Shes also telling you to clean up the weeds. My mother follows me around the grocery store, she occasionally throws a loaf of bread at me, I have witnesses. Enjoy the flowers and think of her when you do. Love from her to you.

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@elainem4596]

I was given this plant from a neighbour who couldnt grow it in a pot. It had never flowered and she gave up. Stuck it straight into the ground and wow - i love it. Never knew the name of it until i stumbled across your video ! Thank you - and thanks for the tips also.

[@risenandreturning]

Thank you - you gave me the perfect amount of information I needed for my new addition to my almost bare yard. 😁

[@JohnMartinez-sm1sk]

Your hibiscus looks beautiful

Thanks for youe video, I am now in my 2nd year with planting mine. I had always admired them. Have had pretty good luck and wanted to keep it that way. Did not know about the trimming, now I do. Thanks.It is presently in Bloom in Fuschia,, and is thriving. Will make sure I do the trimming in the Fall. Great info. All the best to you and yours,,, here in 2021

[@user-nt6yt7nl7d]

Very clear and informative. Thank you.

[@SpritualTechniques]

A friend of mine (in the states ) has some extra Rose of Sharon (wants to thin out ) so that’s why I came to your KZbin Site to see what the plant look like!

[@jlbarne5301]

Here in southern Indiana our's just opened its first blossoms about the 23rd of June. I've never actually paid any attention to its blooming period but it seems like most of summer and possibly into September.

Thank you, I just bought a Rose of Sharon, where I planted it, I thought it would get more sun. Have to move it. Maybe 2 hours a day, not enough. Pink Chiffon, so pretty 🌸Subscribed

I love hibiscus Thank you 🌻🌻🌻

[@redhicky]

Thanks for a great video

[@jaishreeganeshdeva5951]

I love your plant .....it's very beautiful.....I also have the same color of hibiscus plant but it's not flowering this much

[@tammyd7400]

Thank you!! My husband didn't know what a Rose of Sharon looked like, and I want one. So now he thinks it looks nice too. And I didn't know you shouldn't use electric hedge clippers, but what you said about the jagged cutting making the plant succeptible to catching diseases die to the branches not having clean cuts makes complete sense! That is like Rose bushes. You should use Sharp Shears and cut at a 45° angle. I think I'll make similar cuts on the Rose of Sharon. It will probably help the rain run off more easily like it does for Mom's Mr. Lincoln Rose Bush. Thank you!

[@carmelaguitan3493]

I have also the kind of plants here in the phil..three variety..and i love it..

[@JoaquinMarv]

amazing plant!

I have just collected habiscus of different flowers. I wanted to collect more especially the yellow one. I also like your habiscus type.

[@EmmaMorgan09]

I just picked up a blue hibiscus in 10”pot in Aldi for £6.99! Been trying to find one for two years! Soooo lucky!! I live in wales uk x

[@Provb31]

Great video! I'd like to plant the Rose of Sharon alongside my home with some Knock out Roses. The Knock out Roses will mature to about 4 feet tall and I'd like to keep the Rose of Sharon the same height. Thanks for the tips!

[@sarahponder6526]

What about the fragrance

[@stephaniekitchen4819]

Great I go. Thanks!

[@bevtickner4899]

The first one I ever got was from Hampton court England ,it was a double purple, and that was many years ago .have added to my collection, I let mine go to seed ,,one I get lots of new plant that I give away and second the bird love the seeds

[@tima814]

Thank you for your video, very informative. I am loving this plant. I want to plant it but I’m not sure if it is ok to plant in fall or should I wait until spring? I live in Maryland, zone 7. What should I do?

[@suepoch3931]

A friend of mine just gave me some cuttings I did not know who rose of Sharon was hibiscus. I live in Michigan I believe zone five I think I’m going to pack them for indoors and plant next spring anybody have any thoughts? I love you I just subscribed! Very informative great content!

[@Panhan17]

Sue Poch I’m in zone 5 of Michigan as well and have a rose of Sharon planted in the front of my house, it gets full sun and is pretty protected and does great, I feel it’s all comes down to right plant right place. Even though it’s late hopefully this helps

[@Tubby31310]

Have you made part two to this video please? Thank you

[@1momsrose]

What variety is this? It is gorgeous!

[@n.gr.4879]

It's very full and pretty purple color.

[@ruthietreselan]

Love the round shape...I have this one and a red up front I want mine like this...thanks!

[@JoPurpleLove]

Looks gorgeous. A rabbit chewed mine right to the ground over the winter. I'm waiting to see if it will come back now.

[@JetBob84]

The bunny rabbit or the plant?🤣🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇

[@JoPurpleLove]

@@JetBob84 haha I've already seen our bunnies this year. One is massive. Bigger than some small dogs. lol They've left my rose of sharon alone, but they still chew up my burning bush.

[@JetBob84]

@@JoPurpleLove Good heavens, I didn't know that bunnies ate burning bushes too! 🐇 My wife and I have a pet 20lb Flemish Giant bunny named Zora, but she lives indoors. It sounds like you have a science fiction movie playing out in your yard! 😬🤣 Do you think the bushes will grow back?

[@rornentertainment2895]

Nice flower

[@96mariah]

Hey very nice video, thanks. What is your NPK ratio?

[@helenvoisin7161]

thanks , love your videos, I always wanted to make a hibiscus tree with different coloured flowers, any tips?

[@guerillagrace]

Have you tried grafting on scions from the desired flowers source onto the rooted specimen showpiece?

[@samples3030]

Which variety of Rose of Sharon is this? Love the color.....

[@heatherstephens9295]

I love your videos. They are very informative & straight to the point. Greetings from New Zealand 👍

[@johnarmas9589]

Hi enjoyed the video. i did not deadhead the Rose of sharon in the fall. Now there is dried remains. Should i pull them off or cut ?

[@barakahyahamunah9792]

Hi, thank u so much for the info. I am interested to know what type of diseases when you cut the hibiscus with your hands? Is good to know! Thank u so much!

[@guerillagrace]

From what I understood, he was encouraging you to prune by hand making sharp clean cuts Avoiding the jagged cuts that chain hedge cutters might leave behind will discourage potential disease like fungus, ect from taking hold in the crevices of the jagged cuts and migrating further into the healthy plant 🤷‍♀️🍃🍂 Good luck

[@paulademichele1313]

These shrubs attract major pollinators. If you have hummingbirds in your area, as we do in Northern Ohio and in Vermont, hummers love Rose of Sharon blossoms - we see them there the entire blooming season. It goes without saying that bees love it, you can see on landing in this video.

[@ItalianoDelSud7]

I have hundreds of these ripping through my entire yard in Michigan 😅 chopping 95% of these down (need an actual axe) but keeping hopefully a couple of nice strategic patches which are over 8ft tall.

[@pozzee2809]

I have a rose of Sharon that is at least twenty years old. When I moved in it literally has a trunk which is 3-4 inches around. It is as at Least 15 feet tall. I have been cutting the side branches in the fall, but this guy grows like a weed, albeit a gorgeous one. The problem is the branches get so full of flowers they really dip down. We end up tying it to support it, but that does take away a bit from its look. Any suggestions on how to make the branches stronger or how I should do a makeover on it? Thank you

[@Kathyeskinner]

I planted some Rose of Sharon seeds. They came up and are growing great, but they only have two stems. How do I get them to branch out? I've been debating pruning them, but just not sure 🤔 how is the best way or when to do it. They are 3 feet tall with only 2 branches!

[@plantarflores2172]

I bought a standard Rose of Sharon. I planted it in September and now is not doing very well. The buds and leaves are yellow. Do you think I should prune it for now to alleviate de shock of planting it?

[@mounaazzam9906]

I've had my Rose of Sharons for two years now .They are really tall and planted in a sunny area. They have lot of buds on them but they bloom one at a time.Like one or two flowers bloom then they fall on the ground. Then another two blooms at a time.Why is this happening and what do think I should do to help the tree have as many vibrant blooms as possible?

[@muskybob100]

Can a hedge trimmer be used to prune rose of sharon in the fall?

[@alessandravera2439]

I have a metal 5 ft fence around my backyard and growing though out the fence there are rose of sharon.. Im trying to have them all as a living fence, for more privacy🤔How can I turn my tall bushes ( like vines) into full coverenimg bushes trees? Please.

[@dad2702]

May I ask a critical question please. My rose of Sharon is located in a very dark place and does not bloom at all. I believe it is 3-5 years old. Do you think I can relocate it to more sunny place as you advised? Thank you very much.

[@claudialu]

Yes ! It needs a sunny location. ☀️☀️

[@2sugabugs]

Hello what a lovely plant. What is the name of this particular variety

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

We are planting rose of sharon today :)

[@lezliesummers4192]

My rose of sharon have gotten tall. I have 8 in a row on fence line. Was thinking about making them shrub looking. Can just cut them down about 3ft and not take much out of the sides

[@claudialu]

How lucky!!! So nice.

[@susanringler4056]

I planted my rose of sharon tree 2 yrs ago and it flowered nicely but this year it didn't even produce leaves. It's in a nice sunny location. I haven't pruned it though. I'm also wondering if too much rain may be the problem because it's been a very wet year and I'm noticing a lot of moss growing on the soil all over my flower bed. What can I do?

[@nataliesugar2117]

Susan Ringler hi from Australia!--- as it is a hibiscus, please hold off any phosphorus, and phosphorus blocks other nutrients to this particular species of plants.. give some fertilizer without this, or less as possible. Cheers.

[@user-pi2mt2jj8h]

Can I make a Tea from those leaves? Will it be toxic or not? Please answer me if it is drinkable.

[@melissamcdonald6740]

Can you post how to take a cutting and regrowing it

[@OfficiallyCey]

I’ve taken a cutting which has now rooted, trying to find out if I can plant it straight into the ground or in a pot first

[@sadiestoltzfus9798]

Rose of Sharon grows like a weed. Easy to grow.

[@peterjohn8625]

Do I really have to pick up the flowers on the ground, or is that just done for aesthetics?

[@sangeetagarg3341]

Hello from Houston, Texas. I love my plant but am very frustrated with the disease or bug infestation on my Althea plants. I have two of them. My plants' leaves get this white powdery web looking material on the backside of leaves first and then it moves to the front. It seems like a cocoon because I have seen some kind of insect under the white powder. Then it spreads to my other plants as well. I am not an experienced gardener. Please suggest something. I don't want to take my plants out. Thank you.

[@SB-zi5ff]

Hei, DO you know if Deer like this plant? Can I place some Ponies and Lillie next to it? Thanks:-)

hej, har planterat om en hibiscus syriacus. Verkar inte om den har tagit sig, är det å att den kommer igång väldigt sent på våren/sommaren?

[@pedroaltuna141]

Wonderful flower. One question, can I plant it in a large pot to have it on my balcony?

[@ck4jz]

Do you cover these during the winter?

[@HisRenown2]

Looked at my rose of sharon yesterday and it looks as if someone took a hedge trimmer to the top branches. The cut-offs are on the ground underneath the rose of sharon. Wondering what kind of insect could be doing this damage. Would like to nip it in the bud since they will be blooming soon. Would appreciate any help/advice you can give.

[@juliehauk2110]

We bought this exact plant, no flowers on it. I was worried it was dead, but the branches are green when I checked it. What do I do? Will the plant get new growth from under the ground as my other hibiscus? I’m heartbroken, when will I see life from this beautiful tree?

[@sharleenanderson3415]

Leaves on my Rose of Sharon are turning yellow. It is a young plant. Could it be from over watering?

[@griseldavargas909]

If i want to transplamt my plant when is a good time to do it. Reason is because i planted in a shade area. Leafs are turning yellowish.

[@peggyharris1934]

Should you plant your rose of Sharon if it is in bloom or should I wait until bloom is over

[@ericmelton4186]

I’d say it’s very hardy. I had a small tree of it beside my house. When the tree died I cut it down and then it sprang up in every direction for about ten feet. I used to have one now I have four.

[@ahmedhayat5309]

Are these guidelines equally valid for other types of hibiscus as well????

[@ShaneTallon88]

Any tips on how to get rid of mold or moss on a rose of Sharon?

[@moza1465]

My soil is very alkaline, do I need to make the soil a little bit more acidic? The blooms seems to drop off almost all at once,

[@ruthietreselan]

Tip.....at Home Depot they sell Hibiscus food ....more flowers....more intense color!

[@randylynnr]

I have tiny black bugs on the underside of the young leaves. I have my tree in a large pot in my yard. I am treating it with neem oil. Is this good to get rid of them.

Is this edible like other hibiscus plants?

[@earthlingsartiticexpressio9562]

how does the Rose of Sharon do in minus 30 weather and very hot and how about ant /aphid infestation?

[@marktwain368]

In Southern Ontario Canada, Zone 5b-6a we have winter temps go well below freezing and the plants (now trees!) don't bat an eye! Don't ever see bugs on my branches or flowers either. Maybe I'm just fortunate. Good luck to you!

[@markdooley7942]

I just bought two for my garden, but I'm worried my climate won't be warm enough for them to bloom well, I'm in Ireland. On some sites, it says they need a good summer to flower well. I think your summers would be a bit warmer/sunnier than mine, but there's not a huge difference. It looks great in your video, but maybe this was a good summer...do you find any problem with flowering?

[@geraldinecassidy3570]

I have 15 Rose of Sharon trees. Iast year they had lots of buds, but only half opened. The others turned brown and died. The biggest tree had black stuff all over its bark. What is wrong?

[@isarodriguez1912]

My son came home with two small pots with the beautiful rose of Sharon. Should I put them underground? Put them outside with the pot they came? Or put them in a bigger pot outside? I’m so confused. Right now I have them indoors and they are losing its leaves. I’m afraid they’re dying.Please help.. Thank you 🙏🏻
