A whole new look for Rose of Sharon! Arriving in late summer, LAVENDER CHIFFON’s large, single lavender flowers, adorned with a lacy center, create an anemone-like bloom. Beautiful for use in a mixed container or border, as a specimen plant, and is also incredible when pruned into a small tree! It is adaptable, deer resistant, and a cinch to grow.
Here's what you should be doing each month of the year for this plant in USDA Zones 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b: Find Your Climate Zone.

January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December
January
PRUNE
Do not prune.
February
PRUNE
Prune in late winter/early spring. Can be heavily pruned although this is usually unnecessary.
March
BUY
Purchase shrubs after the threat of frost has passed. If you buy sooner, be sure to provide protection to the tender new top growth at night. When choosing plants, don't be shy about popping the plant out of its pot to inspect the roots; the root mass should be free of black, mushy sections and amply fill the container. Remember, the more roots the better!
PLANT
Plant as soon as the threat of frost has passed and the soil is workable. If the threat of frost persists, be sure to provide protection to tender new growth of the plant by covering at night. Choose a sunny location with well drained soil for LAVENDER CHIFFON. Apply a granular slow release fertilizer and water in well. It is recommended to apply 1 inch of water per week during the first growing season and be extra mindful during periods of heat and drought.
FERTILIZE
Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs. Follow the label for recommended rate of application.
WATER
As a rule of thumb, apply 1 inch of water per week during the first growing season. Be mindful of hot days and periods of drought. Once established, LAVENDER CHIFFON has average water requirements.
PRUNE
Prune in late winter/early spring. Can be heavily pruned although this is usually unnecessary.
MULCH
Applying mulch around your flowering shrubs in the spring is a great idea. Not only does it look attractive, it keeps roots cool, conserves soil moisture, reduces water requirements, and acts as an effective weed barrier. Spread mulch evenly to a depth of 2 to 3 inches (if replenishing, don't allow build up to exceed 4" in depth). If your shrub is in lawn, mulch a ring between 3 to 6 feet in diameter around the trunk. Be careful to keep mulch an inch away from the shrub's trunk.

October
BUY
Visit your independent garden center now because fall is the best time to purchase shrubs! Here's why: In the spring, a new plant would have to divide its energy between settling into a new home and growing immediately. In the fall however, the short days are causing the top to go dormant. All the while, the warm soil, which will persist for the coming weeks or months, provides the perfect environment for roots to acclimate. Once spring arrives, the happily established plant can focus on growing and flowering. When choosing plants, don't be shy about popping the plant out of its pot to inspect the roots; the root mass should be free of black, mushy sections and amply fill the container. Remember, the more roots the better!
PLANT
Planting flowering shrubs now is a great time to get a jump on next year's garden! Choose a sunny location with well drained soil for LAVENDER CHIFFON. Save the application of a granular slow-release fertilizer for spring to avoid the initiation of tender new growth. It is recommended to apply 1 inch of water per week during the first growing season and be extra mindful during periods of heat and drought.

MULCH
Applying a winter top-dressing of mulch will provide protection to the roots from severe winter temperatures and frost heaving.

Be careful to keep mulch an inch away from the shrub's trunk.
