Hibiscus syriacus or Rose of Sharon is a bush that has beautiful tropical-looking blooms. The flowers are usually 3″ to 4″ across and come in many different colors, including pinks, purples, blues, whites and reds.
This is a really low maintenance shrub that doesn’t require pruning, unless you want to keep the size down.
As an added bonus, it attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and is deer resistant.
