The Morning Star Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus Morning Star, is an upright, deciduous shrub that is a vigorous, erect, multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows 8-12′ tall. This shrub may also be trained as a single trunk tree or espalier. Leaves are diamond-shaped, dark green, slightly palmate and toothed. ‘Morning Star’ bears grayish blue flowers with pinkish white eyes from late summer until mid-fall. This plant really requires no pruning, unless you need to remove a dead or damaged branch. It has a long, early summer to fall bloom period. This cultivar is a sterile triploid that produces very few if any seed pods. It is an excellent flowering shrub that may be massed, planted in groups, or used as a specimen. The plant is very tolerant of summer heat and humidity. Larger flowers may be obtained by pruning back hard to 2-3 buds in early spring. Otherwise, prune to shape.

The Double Flowering Plum, Prunus triloba, is a handsome, hardy, vigorous growing small tree. This plum is noted for its double, bright pink flowers produced in profusion in April and May. Its medium green foliage in the summer changes to yellow-bronze in the fall. The flowers have both male and female organs and are pollinated by insects. This hardy plant thrives in a well-drained moisture-retentive loamy soil. It succeeds in sun to partial shade, but does best in full sun. Any pruning is best done soon after the plant has flowered. Plant as a specimen plant or in a buffer strip. The double flowering plum, which also goes by the name of Rose Tree of China, is a showstopper in May across the North.
