Brookville seems to be an ideal location for this particular species. At least I have had great success in growing them from scratch. And the color of this bush or tree is the most unusual I have ever seen. The Rose of Sharon produces a white blossom with a deep red center that bleeds into the white. It is from a tree that I made by taking a small limb off the parent bush and sticking it into the ground. Then I kept pulling off leaves and sprouts until it formed a trunk. Now, it looks like a tree and is 8 to 10 feet tall. The parent bush was removed as it was becoming too large for the location it was in.
