Pink Chiffon® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus ‘JWNWOOD4’) is a beautiful deciduous flowering shrub prized for its large, soft pink flowers, delicate semi-double blooms, and graceful upright growth habit. Each flower features a distinctive lacy center, creating a romantic, elegant appearance that brings color and texture to the summer landscape.
Blooming from midsummer into early fall, Pink Chiffon® produces an abundance of soft pink flowers that stand out beautifully against its rich green foliage. Its extended blooming season provides dependable color when many spring-flowering shrubs have finished flowering, making it an excellent addition to mixed borders, foundation plantings, flowering hedges, and specimen plantings.
Pink Chiffon® is particularly well suited for cottage gardens, traditional landscapes, and formal estate-style designs. Its naturally upright habit adds height and structure, while its beautiful flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Care & Maintenance Tips
Planting:
Plant in full sun for the strongest growth and best flower production. Pink Chiffon® Rose of Sharon prefers fertile, well-drained soil but adapts to a variety of soil conditions. Allow sufficient space for its mature height and width, particularly when planting near foundations, walkways, or other shrubs.
Watering:
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, Pink Chiffon® has good drought tolerance, although occasional deep watering during extended hot and dry periods will help maintain healthy foliage and consistent flowering.
Fertilizing:
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring if needed. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flower production.
Pruning:
Pink Chiffon® Rose of Sharon blooms on new wood, making late winter or early spring the ideal time for pruning. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and selectively prune to maintain the desired shape. Light annual pruning can encourage a fuller habit and maintain a tidy appearance.
Winter Care:
Pink Chiffon® is a woody deciduous shrub that loses its leaves in fall but retains its branches through winter. Unlike perennial hardy hibiscus, it does not die back to the ground each year. New foliage develops on the existing branches in spring.
