Why You'll Love It
Magenta Chiffon® brings bold, saturated color to the patio. While other Chiffon cultivars lean toward softer pastels, Magenta Chiffon® delivers a rich, deep magenta-pink that commands attention. The Chiffon-style layered petals give each bloom a refined texture, and in tree form that color and detail are elevated into a canopy of summer flowers that is both dramatic and elegant.
What Makes It Special
- Saturated magenta-pink color — bolder and richer than softer pastels in the same series
- Long bloom season from summer into early fall
- Formal yet romantic look in tree form

Care Instructions
Planting & Watering
Plant in full sun with good drainage and enough space for airflow around the canopy. Rose of Sharon adapts to a range of soil types but performs best in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Backfill, water thoroughly, and apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk.
WateringWater regularly during the first growing season while the root system establishes. Once established, this cultivar is relatively easy-care but still performs best with even moisture through peak summer heat. Avoid keeping the root zone constantly wet.
Pruning & Fertilizing
Prune in late winter or early spring. Rose of Sharon blooms on new wood, so spring pruning encourages strong new growth and abundant flowering. Remove any trunk sprouts or shoots that develop below the graft.
FertilizingA light application of balanced fertilizer in spring is beneficial in poorer soils. Well-established plants in good soil generally need little supplemental feeding.
Winter Protection
Hardy to Zone 5. In Zone 5, a layer of mulch around the root zone in late fall provides additional insulation. Remove any winter-damaged wood in early spring.
Good to Know
Rose of Sharon blooms on new wood — always prune in late winter or early spring, never in summer or fall, to avoid removing developing flower buds.
Growing Zone Map
Magenta Chiffon® thrives in Zones 5–9, covering most of the southern two-thirds of the continental United States. Gardeners in Zone 5 should apply extra mulch in fall for root protection during the coldest winters.
