Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon

Planting Instructions for Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon

  1. Choosing the Right Location: Plant Starblast Chiffon in full sun in USDA zones 5 through 9. A spot with at least six hours of direct sunlight gives the most blooms, while in shade the shrub grows slowly and produces far fewer flowers. Place it near a patio, path or window to enjoy the flowers and visiting hummingbirds.
  2. Soil Preparation: It grows well in many soil types as long as the area drains well. Avoid spots where water stays around the roots, and loosen the soil with compost before planting.
  3. Planting: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, and set the shrub level with the surrounding ground. It can reach about 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide. For a flowering hedge, plant about 5 to 6 feet apart so the rounded forms grow together.
  4. Mulching and First Watering: Water deeply after planting and add 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the root zone, keeping it off the stems.

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Water regularly while the shrub is becoming established. Once the roots settle in, it handles short dry periods, but a deep soak during long summer heat supports steady flowering.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Avoid late-summer feeding so growth can harden off before winter. Water before and after feeding and follow the label rate, since too much fertilizer can burn roots and cause weak, floppy growth.
  3. Pest and Disease Monitoring: Watch for aphids on tender tips and Japanese beetles in midsummer, and for leaf spot in wet weather. Keep good air flow around the plant.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning: Starblast Chiffon naturally grows in a rounded, well-branched shape. Prune lightly in late winter to keep it smaller for a foundation bed or container. Rose of Sharon blooms on new wood, so late-winter pruning does not reduce summer flowers.
  2. Winter Care: It handles cold winters in its zones. Like other Rose of Sharon, it leafs out late in spring, so be patient with new growth.
  3. Growing in Containers: Use a large container with drainage holes on patios, porches, decks and entryways. Prune lightly in late winter to keep it in scale, and water potted plants more often during hot weather.

Additional Tips for Growing Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon

  1. Flowers: Bright white blooms with fluffy centers and a hot pink starburst appear from summer into fall, starting earlier and lasting longer than many Rose of Sharon varieties.
  2. Pollinators and Deer: The flowers attract hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. It is considered deer resistant, though very hungry deer may nibble young growth in tough seasons.
  3. Shipping: Due to state plant regulations, it cannot ship to California. Because it is deciduous, a hedge is fullest from late spring through fall.

Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon

Beware- not all Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon plants are the same.

Be sure to get superior flowering shrubs, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" flowering shrubs to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon plants in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth and blooms!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall flowering shrubs in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" shrub, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy shrub.

Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon

Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon brings big, two-tone summer blooms that keep going for weeks.

  • White blooms with fluffy centers and a bright hot pink starburst
  • Blooms earlier and longer than many Rose of Sharon, from summer into fall
  • Handles summer heat and is deer resistant, in zones 5-9
  • Attracts hummingbirds, bees and butterflies to your garden

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon Plants Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship small, weak flowering shrubs grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants struggle after planting and take longer to bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Starblast Chiffon™ Rose of Sharon plants, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means they settle in quickly and start giving you big, colorful blooms sooner.
