Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Rose of Sharon Tree Althea in either full sun or partial shade. This tree is very resistant to heat, drought, pollution and poor soil conditions, so you only need to worry about where you place the plant in your yard. When planting, add some compost and a general fertilizer to the soil and then top off the base of the tree with some mulch for water retention.
2. Watering: Because of its drought resistance, you only need to water your Lavender Rose of Sharon Althea when you get less than one inch of rain in a week. If you over water, the leaves will turn yellow.
3. Fertilizing: You can fertilize the tree every spring with a general-purpose fertilizer.
4. Pruning: You only need to prune your Lavender Rose of Sharon Althea if you want it to maintain a certain shape for hedges. You can also prune to control the size of your plant as taller trees will have smaller blooms.
