Ardens Rose of Sharon Althea Shrub

The Roses of Sharon arrived with only a few leaves left on it - I was expecting more leaves for early Mov. Otherwise it looks like it is well shaped and look great assuming it comes back next spring.

I was skeptical at first if the price was worth it…if you’re looking for a specific shrub, this is worth it, most definitely! The shipment was so fast, I was shocked how quickly it came and well boxed. I planted it within a few days, then this is my shrub now! I planted it in maybe May, and it has definitely grown. It did not have half the leaves it does now, but I watered it daily for awhile and still water every now and then (bc I love watering my plants, it’s my morning therapy 😂). So being only July, I’m shocked it has a bloom on the first year and can see many buds forming 😊😊 also, the spot it’s planted in is partial shade, mostly just late afternoon and evening sun. The soil I just put in when planted- top soil mixed with manure (if this had anything to do with it idk)

My Rose of Sharon bush arrived and looked very healthy! We got it planted and have been watering faithfully. It still looks good but the flowers don’t look nearly as nice as those in the picture of the bush. I’m hoping that maybe it’s because it is still very young/new and we didn’t have a good rainy Spring? Fingers crossed that it continues to grow well and flowers look better next time it blooms.

Received beautiful, in bloom shrub, and so impressed with it's beauty and size. Can hardly wait for it to get full size and full of blooms. As usual, a very beautiful tree from Fast Growing Trees, whom I whole heartedly recommend to anyone needing to purchase great trees.
