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.
