Professional Growing Information 
This is the first full season after planting two Proven Winners Star Blast Chiffons. I have them in from of the corner section of my back yard fence. That gives a nice background color to show off their beauty. They are in the eastern section of my yard and receive morning through late afternoon sun. I do water them several times a week depending on rain. They have blossomed incredible for their first full year of planting. The blossoms are all uniform in size, shape and color pattern. It is a very showy plant, and I am very pleased with them both. I am planning on buying more to dress up my yard/garden. I live in zone 5a.

We recommend full sun for rose of Sharon for the maximum amount of blooming and best color, but it can grow and flower reasonably well in partially shaded spots.
