This robust Rose of Sharon blooms continuously from late spring until the first frost, bearing semi-double blue flowers. Blueberry Smoothie™ can grow up to 8 feet tall, but it can also be softly pruned to encourage blooming. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and other wildlife are drawn to a tough plant that can tolerate heat, humidity, and cold, adding interest while keeping deer away.
