Native to parts of Asia, this Hibiscus syriacus Fiji™ is well suited to growing in zones 5 to 8. Requiring minimal pruning, it is low maintenance and easy to care for when grown in the right place. Due to its size, the Fiji Rose of Sharon can be grown on its own or with others to provide bold color to the back of a border.
Fiji Rose of Sharon Plant Care
For the best blooms, the Fiji Rose of Sharon likes to be grown in full sun. It prefers free-draining, fertile soil that is neutral to alkaline. Keep the soil evenly moist after planting; however, once established, it can also cope with dry periods. To encourage its attractive blooms, you can apply a granular slow-release fertilizer in the spring. However, it is best to avoid overfeeding her, as this can lead to poor flower formation.
Even though little pruning is required, you can prune this Fiji Rose of Sharon to the desired shape in late winter. In colder areas, you can mulch around the base of the plant to help insulate the roots from the worst of the winter.
Fiji Rose of Sharon Plant Spacing
The Fiji Rose of Sharon can reach 5 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 7 feet wide when fully grown. When growing as part of a group, you can space each hibiscus around 4 to 7 feet apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
