Rose of Sharon 'Pink Giant': Hardy Hibiscus with Huge Pink Blooms

'Pink Giant' lives up to its name with exceptionally large, clear pink flowers on a hardy, deciduous shrub. This Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) cultivar brings bold summer color to cold-climate gardens.

Giant Pink Flowers

The single flowers can reach 4-5 inches in diameter—larger than typical H. syriacus blooms. They are a beautiful, clear medium pink with a small, deeper red eye. The shrub has an upright, vase-shaped habit, growing 8-12 feet tall. Blooms from mid-summer to fall.
