Rose of Sharon





My grandmother always had two huge Rose of Sharon bushes behind her house. Every spring this bush was more than eager to bloom - and it sure did! I remember myself admiring pink and white blossoms and the humming of the bees...

Unfortunately, in our zone 9 the Rose of Sharon does not grow and bloom quite as well, especially not in pots or in the full sun. Planted in fertile, well drained soil in a shady spot, however, it never ceases to bring back my happy childhood memories with appearance of beautiful pink flowers.
