Rose of Sharon

Cultivars of Hibiscus syriacus, plus a few hybrids, offer an impressive rainbow of summer blooms not including yellow or orange.

The single form in particular also happens to be a favorite flower type of mine, and I was happy to learn of its salad-edible qualities! Thus it could belong in the orchard.

These are arranged as best could be determined, into 2 main displays in the landscape: a full rainbow each of both Singles & of Doubles. A small dwarf rainbow plus miscellaneous specimen placements make up the rest of the cultivar spectrum

Singles

Single cultivars around the landscape, mostly along the driveway hill, showing estimated mature plant height; NOT in rainbow order

Doubles

Double and semi-double cultivars around the landscape, mostly along the west border rose-line, showing estimated mature plant heights; NOT in rainbow order

Dwarfs

Just a few for the driveway island at the street, measuring height in feet; NOT in rainbow order
