Description
An exclamation point in your garden, the Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon is totally unique in that it grows in an upright columnar form. Winner of the Silver Medal at the Plantarium show, this beauty produces an abundance of dazzling bi-color, purple and red flowers that appear all summer long adding even more appeal in the garden. The butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting this one in your garden as well.
If you love Crape Myrtles, you’ll all love Rose of Sharon. We consider Rose of Sharon one of the the most under-rated ornamental plants in the plant world. They are very easy to grow and require little to no maintenance. We have many Rose of Sharon planted in our gardens and rarely have to touch them. No insect or disease problems. No issues with heat or drought. The deer won’t touch them…and best of all, the masses of beautiful flowers keep coming for months providing a constant show of color!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in an upright, columnar form 10 to 16 feet tall with a spread of 2 to 3 feet, the Purple Rose of Sharon has many uses in the landscape. It is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a narrow hedge or screen where space is limited. Also great for accentuating entryways or as a vertical accent anywhere in the sunny landscape. Plant one near the patio or other outdoor living spaces so you can enjoy the flowers and the butterflies and hummingbirds that will visit them.Â
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 2 to 2.5 feet apart for a solid hedge or screen; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Rose of Sharon variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
The Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon is very easy to grow and maintain. Simply plant them where the sun shines most of the day and in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. Some light shade is tolerated but too much shade and plants will become leggy and flowering is diminished. Constantly soggy or wet soil or standing water can be problematic. Established plants are quite drought tolerant. Requires little if any pruning though a stray branch can be removed any time of year.

A beautiful little rose of Sharon. Well packaged and delivered on time. Planted this Beauty and is doing well.———————————————-Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
My shrub arrived in great condition. As I just planted it, I cannot comment on how it will look once it flowers. I have bought a number of plants from Wilson Brothers and have found all of them to be of high quality.——————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
The plant arrived in very good condition. (Spring 2021). Packaging was excellent. Planted it immediately and it is growing and seems to be doing well so far. It actually arrived with a few flower buds already on it, so I watch it every day to see the buds open up. The one thing I am a little disappointed about though is I expected the flowers to be a shade of purple with a red eye. Mine is not purple by any means. It is a lighter pink with a red eye. I will keep it as it’s already planted, but I wanted it to be purple. I don’t know if it was mis-labeled or what, but it’s pink, not purple. I am wondering if I could make the soil more acid if that would help??
Came nicely packed and looked very healthy. So far so good.————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Plants arrived very quickly- within a few days of placing the order. Both were in great shape. They were a good size with lots of leaves. I planted them about a month ago and they seem to be doing well! Will order from Wilson Brothers again. Great experience!—————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review and the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I was very hesitant to buy plants online as I have had some prior experiences that were not so good. However, I could not find these specific plants I wanted at my local nurseries or hardware stores. So I read about the Wilson brothers and really liked their story and decided to go ahead with my purchase. Let’s just say I was amazed at the quality of the plants and the customer service I received when I called in afterwards to see if I should still plant during a cold snap we were in. Upon the advice, I waited to plant the plants and now they are thriving. I would not hesitate to buy more plants and or trees from this company. ———————————-Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
