There's something about blue colored Rose of Sharon flowers in the summer that makes gardeners happy. With the introduction of 'Blue Chiffon'® from breeder Dr. Roderick Woods of England, America's summer happiness factor may soar!

The flower centers are accented with wine red color that streaks out from the veins of the petals.

It will make a perfect old school summer specimen planting or a stunning border planting when grouped.
