The White Pillar® Rose of Sharon is a great tall, space-saving addition to any garden or landscape. Celebrated for its striking vertical growth and stunning floral display, this exceptional cultivar delivers versatility and convenience.

Boasting a unique upright column structure, the 'White Pillar®' stands tall, reaching heights of up to 15 feet while maintaining a slender form. In mid to late summer, vibrant white flowers embellish the branches and attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds.

Ideal for narrow hedges, screens, gardens, entryways, and decorative containers, White Pillar® has lots of functional capabilities. Also, its vertical growth habit makes it a space-saving option for urban gardens or smaller areas where traditional shrubs may not fit. Add height and elegant white blooms to your garden with the White Pillar® Rose of Sharon today!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant your White Pillar® in full sun (around 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily), in an area with well-drained soil. Once you've selected your location, dig a hole large enough to accommodate your plant’s root ball.

If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the width of your plant’s shipped container. Using high-quality soil, pot the plant and place it in an area where it will receive plenty of sun.

2. Watering: Plan to water your White Pillar® one to two times per week. If you're not sure when to water, check your plant’s soil about 2 or 3 inches down for dryness.

3. Fertilizing: You can fertilize this plant every spring with a general-purpose fertilizer.

4. Pruning: You only need to prune your Rose of Sharon if you want it to maintain a certain shape for hedges. You can also prune to control the size of your plant as taller plants will have smaller blooms.
