Choose Dark Lavender Chiffon® Rose of Sharon if you want strong late-summer purple bloom on an upright flowering shrub; the tradeoff is that it needs full sun and room to grow into its natural shape.
Buy This If
You want purple summer flowers.
You need upright structure.
You prefer less seed drop.
Skip This If
The site is mostly shade.
Deer browse is frequent.
You need a compact shrub.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The dark lavender-purple flowers carry well in late summer when many shrubs are done blooming.
Growth Rate
B
It grows at a steady pace, but it is not the fastest choice for quick privacy.
Maintenance
B+
Reduced seed production helps keep it cleaner than older Rose of Sharon types.
Deer Resistance
C
This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
C+
Its upright habit helps, but it still needs enough room to avoid constant pruning.
Screening Value
B+
It works well as a flowering summer screen, though it is deciduous and not a year-round privacy plant.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny spots that need late-season color and some upright screening, not for shaded beds or areas where deer already pressure flowering shrubs.

Customers Usually Ask
Is it messy?
Less than older Rose of Sharon types because it produces fewer seeds.
Does it bloom all summer?
No, its main show is mid to late summer.
Can I use it for privacy?
Yes for seasonal screening, but it drops leaves in winter.
Why buy for fall color
See the actual color before you buy it
Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
