Otherwise, prune to shape. The Aphrodite Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus, is an upright, deciduous shrub that is a vigorous, erect, multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows 8-12' tall. The plant is very tolerant of summer heat and humidity. Leaves are diamond-shaped, dark green, slightly palmate and toothed. This plant really requires no pruning, unless you need to remove a dead or damaged branch. It has a long, early summer to fall bloom period. It is an excellent flowering shrub that may be massed, planted in groups, or used as a specimen. This shrub may also be trained as a single trunk tree or espalier. Larger flowers may be obtained by pruning back hard to 2-3 buds in early spring. 'Aphrodite' bears dark hollyhock-like rosy-pink flowers with deeper red eyes from late summer until mid-fall. This cultivar is a sterile triploid that produces very few if any seed pods. ... additional information
