Azzurri Satin Rose of Sharon

The ideal shrub for lending a tropical feel to your yard, Azzurri Satin rose of Sharon offers awesome hibiscus-shape flowers in a stunning shade of lilac blue. It blooms all summer long. A seedless variety, it puts more energy into blooms -- and won't drop a mess of seedlings in your yard the next year like older rose of Sharon varieties. Growing 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide, it makes a perfect tall flowering hedge. Or plant it with a Little Lime hydrangea for an unforgettable, practically carefree summer display. Zones 5-9
