Planting & Care
1. Planting: First, select an area with well-drained soil and full to partial sun (4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). When you're ready to plant, dig a hole that's twice the width of your plant's root ball and just as deep. Then, place your shrub, backfill the soil and water to settle the roots. Finally, mulch the surrounding soil to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: Water your Red Heart once or twice weekly in order to conserve soil moisture. If you're not sure when to water your shrub, check the soil with your index finger, about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize before new growth begins in the spring with a well-balanced blend, such as 10-10-10.
4. Pruning: Prune your Red Heart Rose of Sharon in the winter, after flowering, in order to shape your shrub.

United StatesSo happy to have found you.
The ROS Althea arrived healthy and well packaged. We were excited to see so many branches with so many buds and one brave soldier that blossomed in the box Althea has been planted for a couple of weeks and with no sign of shock or wilt. I highly recommend this company and will buy from it again.
