About the Rose of
Sharon-Jeanne DArc :
The Jeanne D'Arc Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus
syriacus Jeanne D'Arc, is an upright, deciduous
shrub that is vigorous, erect, multi-stemmed shrub
that typically grows 8-12' tall. This shrub may also
be trained as a single trunk tree or espalier.
Leaves are diamond-shaped, dark green, slightly
palmate and toothed. 'Jeanne D'Arc' bears double
white flowers from late summer until mid-fall. This
plant really requires no pruning, unless you need to
remove a dead or damaged branch.
Long, early-summer to fall bloom period. This
cultivar is a sterile triploid that produces very
few if any seed pods. Excellent flowering shrub that
may be massed, planted in groups or used as a
specimen. Very tolerant of summer heat and humidity.
Larger flowers may be obtained by pruning back hard
to 2-3 buds in early spring. Otherwise, prune to
shape.
