Hibiscus syriacus ‘Rwoods5’
Choose Magenta Chiffon® Rose of Sharon if you want late-summer color on an upright flowering screen. The tradeoff: it needs a bright, open site and enough room, so it is not the shrub for tight foundation corners.
Buy This If
You want color after spring shrubs finish.
You need an upright flowering screen.
You dislike heavy seedling cleanup.
Skip This If
Your site is mostly shaded.
You need evergreen winter privacy.
Deer browse heavily in that spot.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The magenta flowers carry the planting in late summer when many shrubs are past their peak.
Growth Rate
B
Moderate growth fills in steadily, but it will not give instant privacy.
Maintenance
B+
Prune lightly in early spring if needed, and expect less seed cleanup 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 breathing room around walks, windows, and entries.
Screening Value
B+
It makes a useful warm-season flowering screen, but it is deciduous and open in winter.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend it for homeowners who want a flowering privacy layer without the seed mess of older Rose of Sharon, not for narrow walkways or winter screening.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it work as a hedge?
Yes, for a warm-season flowering screen; choose evergreens if privacy matters in winter.
Does it drop many seedlings?
This Chiffon type has low seed production, so cleanup is reduced, not eliminated.
When should I prune it?
Prune in early spring before new growth if shaping is needed.

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!
