ROSE OF SHARON
Hibiscus syriacus, Zones 5 to 9
In the right conditions, this upright shrub
reaches 12 feet tall, creating an excellent
privacy screen or focal point. The large,
tropical-looking flowers add flair to yards
from July to September.

I took a snapshot of this bee enjoying
the pollen from a rose of Sharon with
my Nikon D3300 and a steady hand.
I’m lucky to have tons of pollinators in
my garden. RENEE COLE
