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.

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.

Grown and hardened off for New England conditions
We grow and acclimate our Proven Winners stock right here in New Hampshire, so it's ready for New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

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!
