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.

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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
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!
