Pruning Rose Of Sharon

How and When to Prune Hibiscus Syriacus


Pruning Rose of Sharon is very easy. But it should be done in early spring, if you like to shape it a bit.

Prune only as needed to shape plants, making pruning cuts in early spring, or winter in warm climates such as Florida and California, to avoid removing flower buds.

If you planted it as a privacy hedge, you can keep it trimmed as a hedge. Just prune it like you would a regular hedge. It should be done in spring though.

Rose of Sharon plants are easily trained by pruning to a single trunk creating a treelike top. Or you can trim and train it as an espalier.
