ALTHEA… the NEW Smoothie Collection

There’s nothing better than a summertime smoothie and our NEW collection of Smoothie Altheas is no exception! These shrubs feature double-bloom, ice cream colored flowers all season long. Althea, also known as Rose of Sharon, is highly adaptable and easy to grow. We suggest growing these plants in full sun to part shade. As an upright shrub, they will grow to be a height of 8 feet and width of 4 feet and boast large, double blooms giving you a super summer show! They are perfect for hedges, beds, borders and mass plantings. As a heat-lover, this shrub is a treat for Hampton Roads gardeners who crave plants that can stand up to summer’s heat.

Try one of these new smoothies in your garden:

Raspberry Smoothie – features double, fuchsia-raspberry blooms
Blueberry Smoothie – features double, bluish-purple blooms
Strawberry Smoothie – features double, light pink flowers
