Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Pillar' (Standard)
Choose Red Pillar Rose of Sharon Standard if you want late-summer color in a narrow tree form; the tradeoff is that it needs a sunny, open spot and won’t give much privacy below the canopy.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The upright tree form and late bloom make a strong accent, but it is more refined than large and dramatic. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace without giving the instant size of faster ornamental trees. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on light pruning to keep the head shaped and the trunk 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 narrow habit works well where a wider flowering tree would crowd a walkway or bed. |
| Screening Value | C | It adds height and flowers, but the raised canopy does not block views near the ground. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for a sunny front bed, patio corner, or entry where a shrub form would feel too wide and a shade tree would be too much.

Yes, but remove low shoots as they appear to keep the trunk clean.
No, buy it for mid-to-late season color, not spring flowers.
Not by itself; use it as an accent above lower companion plants.

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!
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.
