Buy Sugar Tip® Althea online. Sugar Tip® Althea is an eye-catching, new rose of sharon with brightly variegated creamy-white and bluish-green foliage. Unlike 'Purpureus Variegatus' this beauty actually flowers! It produces loads of clear pink, double flowers and does not produce seed like older cultivars. This is a beautiful plant that will look great in your garden all summer. Note: Althea is considered a woody shrub or tree and will not die back to the ground in winter like hardy hibiscus.

Family: Malvaceae · Common Name: Althea / Rose of Sharon / Hardy Hibiscus
