Q: How large does Hollandia Rose of Sharon get?
A: It is a medium to large deciduous shrub, typically reaching 6-10 feet in height and 6-8 feet in spread at maturity.

Q: When does it bloom?
A: It blooms from mid-summer through early autumn (July to September), producing an abundance of large, hollyhock-like flowers.

Q: How much sun does it need?
A: For the most abundant flowering, plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). It will tolerate light shade but will flower less.

Q: Does it attract pollinators?
A: Yes, the nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.

Q: Is it deer resistant?
A: It is generally not highly deer resistant. In areas with heavy deer pressure, plants may need protection.

Q: How should I prune it?
A: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. It blooms on new wood, so pruning at this time will not sacrifice flowers. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and cut back by about one-third to maintain shape.

Q: Is it drought tolerant?
A: Once established, it has moderate drought tolerance but performs best with regular water, especially during the growing season.

Q: Can it be grown in containers?
A: Yes, especially when young. Use a large container with good drainage and provide full sun.
