Double bicolor red and pink blooms make the Peppermint Smoothie Rose of Sharon or Althea a real attention-getter in the landscape. The blooms arrive late in the season, when many other flowering plants have faded, bringing a welcome burst of cheery color. Attracting butterflies, the blooms are nearly exotic in appearance, adding a tropical air to the landscape. This 8 ft. tall, highly adaptable shrub seems custom-made for privacy hedges, but is also great for beds, borders and mass plantings.
