Columns of Long-Lasting Purple Blooms 

The Purple Pillar® Rose of Sharon is a magnificent addition to any garden or landscape. Renowned for its striking vertical growth and stunning floral display, this exceptional, space-saving cultivar delivers beauty to outdoor spaces.

Boasting a unique upright stature, the 'Purple Pillar®' stands tall, reaching heights of up to 15 feet while maintaining a slender, columnar form. Its dense foliage of deep green leaves provides a lush backdrop for the star of the show—lavish, purple blossoms. In mid to late summer, clusters of large, vibrant purple flowers adorn the branches, creating a spectacle of color and charm. These blossoms attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.

The 'Purple Pillar®' is also a low-maintenance and adaptable plant. This hardy shrub is disease-resistant, cold-hardy, and drought-tolerant once established, making it a resilient choice for various climates. Plus, you can expect your 'Purple Pillar®' to produce heavy blooms throughout a long blooming period of summer through fall.

Ideal for use as a focal point in landscapes, the 'Purple Pillar®' can also be incorporated into narrow hedges, screens, formal gardens, entryways, and decorative containers. Its vertical growth habit makes it a space-saving option for urban gardens or smaller areas where traditional shrubs may not fit. Add a touch of elegance and a pop of stunning purple to your garden with the Purple Pillar® Rose of Sharon today!

Hardy and beautiful

We had an unseasonably warm winter in Colorado. I planted the rose of Sharon and was disappointed when a freak snowstorm decimated the foliage. Thankfully, the bush arrived healthy and strong and has recovered from the shock. I always get the best results in my garden when I purchase from this site.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThank you for the wonderful review, Heather. While that unexpected snowstorm must have been discouraging, it's great to hear your Rose of Sharon bounced back thanks to its strong start. We appreciate your loyalty and are delighted to be part of your gardening success.

Beautiful

I ordered 3 of these in 2 separate orders. The first order was perfectly packaged and delivery went smooth. I was a little frustrated with the second order as the both tree packages were bent and broken, one of the pot was broken with soil half spilled out. Nonetheless I planted them and they’re thriving. The two trees from the broken packages are pictured here without the flowers. Most likely not flowering yet bc I planted them a few weeks behind the first. I mean, look how beautiful these flowers are…

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Meagan, we're really sorry about that second delivery experience and will absolutely be sharing that feedback with the carrier! That said look at how beautifully they're all thriving! The blooms are absolutely stunning and we think the two from the second shipment are going to catch right up and put on just as gorgeous a show. We're always here if you need anything!
