Double Pink Rose of Sharon Tree

Ruffled, fully double pink blooms open from late summer into fall — the season when most flowering shrubs have long since quit.

The Double Pink Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is an upright, vase-shaped flowering shrub trained to a single trunk for a small-tree silhouette. Each flower is packed with layered, peony-like petals in soft rose-pink, a fuller and more romantic look than the classic single Rose of Sharon. It blooms heavily from late summer through fall, just as the garden needs a fresh wave of color, and its bright green foliage gives clean structure all season. At a mature 6 to 10 feet tall and wide with a fast growth rate, it fills space quickly and reads as a flowering accent, a screening shrub, or a graceful patio tree.

Why growers choose the Double Pink Rose of Sharon

• Late-season bloom power. Flowers carry from late summer into fall, extending color long after spring and early-summer shrubs have finished.
• Lush double flowers. The fully double, ruffled rose-pink blossoms have a richer, more layered look than single-flowered forms.
• Cold-hardy and adaptable. Reliable in USDA zones 5 through 9, it tolerates heat, humidity, and a wide range of soils once established.
• Fast and forgiving. A fast growth rate means it establishes and fills its space quickly, and it blooms on new wood so spring pruning never costs you flowers.
• Pollinator friendly. The open, nectar-rich blooms draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds through the late-season stretch when forage is scarce.

Use it as a flowering focal point near a patio, plant a row for an informal hedge or screen, or set it at the back of a mixed border where its tree form can rise above lower perennials. Its compact footprint and tidy single trunk also make it a strong choice for smaller yards and courtyard gardens.
