A Rose of Sharon I planted as a seedling has flowered during the night. I planted another this year. The place I am planting them is so rocky it takes a pick and a San Angelo bar to plant one. This one turned out to be the double flowering type. I have another area where I have a 140 foot rows of them 5 feet apart. That's why I keep getting seedlings.
@TheOldGuy I've never seen the double bloom on one. Stunning!
@caragraph I got a bunch of them from some mail order place. I was planting 28 of them and bought 3 bundles of 10. Someone slipped in the double flower bundle by mistake. They are supposed to be sterile but this came up as a seedling. I have a 140 foot row. It's a mix. No red ones though. Those are rare. That flowerbed is full of daffodils. Plant them and forget them.
@TheOldGuy I've never seen a red one either! My experience with them is that the seedlings rarely if ever reproduce the same flower as its parent.
The white with the burgundy center is a favorite, but a red one would definitely top that!
I have a couple here large enough to bloom and several seedlings I'm nurturing but my current landscape is a total disaster.
@caragraph The Catholic church in downtown Sacramento, California used to have one and might still have. I marveled at it for at least a half hour back about 1995.
Here are a few pictures. That double flowering one is at the corner of my zinnia garden. Then a couple of pictures of my 140 foot row. I planted 1000 daffodils which was about a third of what I should have planted. But they multiply.
@TheOldGuy nice! I love it, thanks 🌹🌱💚
