Hibiscus syriacus 'Gandini Santiago'
Choose Purple Pillar® Rose of Sharon when you want summer-to-fall bloom in a tight upright space. The tradeoff: it is deciduous, so it screens best during the growing season, not as a winter privacy wall.
Buy This If
You need height without much spread.
You want flowers after spring shrubs finish.
Deer browse is a regular concern.
Skip This If
You need privacy in winter.
The spot stays soggy.
You want a rounded shrub.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The narrow frame and late bloom give strong vertical color without taking over a bed.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a useful pace, but it is not an instant screen.
Maintenance
B
Plan on light shaping and cleanup of spent blooms rather than constant pruning.
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
A
The columnar habit makes it one of the better flowering shrubs for tight planting areas.
Screening Value
B-
It provides good warm-season cover, but bare winter stems limit off-season privacy.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically place this where a homeowner needs a vertical flowering accent, not where they expect winter privacy. Give it a bright, open spot and avoid crowding it with broad shrubs.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it work as a privacy screen?
Yes for warm-season screening; choose an evergreen if winter privacy is the priority.
Will deer eat it?
It has good deer resistance for our market, but heavy pressure can still test any plant.
Does it need pruning?
Only light shaping is usually needed; prune to keep the column clean and remove damaged wood.
Why buy for fall color

Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
Fall planting means roots established before winter

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!
