Hibiscus syriacus 'Lucy' (standard)
Choose Lucy Rose of Sharon standard if you want a tidy tree-form summer bloomer near an entry, patio, or walkway. The tradeoff: it is an accent plant, not a shade tree or privacy screen.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The tree form gives a clear vertical accent and late-season bloom, but it is more formal than natural. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace without behaving like a fast screen. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on light shaping and removing shoots from the trunk to keep the standard form clean. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | The raised head works well where you want height without much ground-level spread. |
| Screening Value | D | The elevated canopy and single trunk do not block views at eye level. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Lucy for a sunny, visible spot where structure matters as much as bloom. Keep it out of soggy soil and give the trunk occasional cleanup.
| Mature Height | 9 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 5.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Upright, tree-form standard, vase-shaped crown |
It is mainly a mid-to-late summer bloomer, not a spring-flowering tree.
Not entirely; remove trunk shoots when they appear.
No, the canopy sits too high for dependable screening.

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.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
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!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
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!
