Product Details

Sugar Tip Althea

Hibiscus syriacus 'America Irene Scott'

Sugar Tip Althea (Rose of Sharon) is a unique flowering shrub that combines beautiful double pink blooms with creamy-white variegated foliage. Blooming from midsummer into fall, it brings long-lasting color and charm to the landscape. Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, it forms an upright, bushy habit that fits well into beds, borders, or as a stand-alone accent.

  • Deciduous shrub
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Double pink blooms midsummer to fall
  • Attractive green-and-white variegated foliage
  • Great for borders, accents, or hedges

Plant Sugar Tip Althea in full sun with well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9, it’s a versatile and colorful choice for Texas beds. Unlike many altheas, Sugar Tip produces sterile flowers, meaning no unwanted seedlings - just pure color and beauty. Its variegated leaves brighten the landscape even when it’s not in bloom, making it a true multi-season performer.
