Rose of sharon 'Texas Star'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Texas Star is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. A soil ph of between 5.6 and 7.5 is ideal for Texas Star as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Lightly prune any leggy stalks in spring to shape. Plants that are not grown in a pond respond to light mulching in winter.¹

As Texas Star is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
