[quote=Anonymous]Rose of Sharon is hibiscus syriacus and is a weed and is invasive. There is a native hardy hibiscus to the states, also known as swamp mallow. I have three in my garden that I grew from seed, white, pink and magenta. The blooms are huge and last for one day. They get quite tall and are perennial, take full sun, although they will tolerate shade, and like moist conditions. Other than that they are very easy going plants. I cut them down each Nov. and they grow five feet tall the next summer. They are pretty late to leaf out. They are not a thug in the garden like R.O.S. Tropical hibiscus have beautiful dark green foliage and more blooms, but are not hardy to the area and will need to go into a garage or sunroom for the winter. [/quote]
