Purple Althea (Rose of Sharon) is a stunning deciduous shrub perfect for sunny garden borders. This upright, narrow variety reaches 8-10 feet tall with a 3-4 foot spread, making it ideal for vertical accents and tight spaces. Hardy in zones 5-9, it produces vibrant purple blooms throughout the growing season. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, this classic ornamental thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, adding elegant color and structure to any landscape design.
