Raspberry Smoothie Rose of Sharon or Althea is tough, hardy and soil adaptable. This variety of hardy hibiscus bears deep burgundy buds that open to vivid hot pink crepe-paper flowers. It produces these double blooms during the dog days of summer, when little else is flowering in the garden. The contrast of its blossoms against vibrant green foliage is sure to brighten the sunny areas of your landscape. Planting in groups of 3 or more, or in line as a privacy hedge, heightens its impact.
