I ordered 15 of these trees/shrubs and they arrived in a box individually wrapped at the pot. Trees were about 9-13 inches tall, including the pot. Very green and healthy. I'll attempt to include my "how-to" video where you can see the trees.

The Nellie R. Stevens Holly is one of the fastest growing, most disease resistant hollies ever bred.These evergreens stay deep green all year, unlike other hedge trees that can brown out during either the summer heat or mild droughts.Shape: Pyramid-shaped evergreen or privacy screenPruning: Let them grow naturally into a dense, pyramidal shape. Plant 5-6 ft. apart for a fast, living wall that will give you complete privacy... no holes... no gaps. They grow up to 3 feet per year unpruned. When they reach the height you want, just clip off the leader. This will slow them down and make them thicken.You can also use hollies to accent the corners of your home, a birm, flower garden or entryway. The dark green foliage makes a great contrast to surrounding trees and shrubs.Flowers or Fruit: During the winter months you will enjoy the red berries against the deep green foliage. Watch as these berries attract all types of birds!They withstand poor soil, drought and neglect.Exposure: Nellie Stevens Hollies grow in sun or partial shadeMoisture: They like well drained soilMaturity:Height 15-25 ft., or prune them into a tall box hedge Spread: 10 feetUsageThis fast growing plant makes attractive hedges and screens in just a matter of a few years.HARDINESS: Zones 6 - 9.

Sugar Tip Hibiscus Rose of Sharon - Creamy/White Tips Review

Sugar Tip Hibiscus Rose of Sharon - Creamy/White Tips
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really cannot say anything about the flower on the bush. I ordered two of them, and received them in tiny pots, with some type of moss growing all over the top. No buds, no sprouts. I planted one and gave one away. Based on the picture, I thought I would be getting a young bush, with at least a bud if not a few flowers. From the same company (Hirts), and with the same pictures/advertisement, I ordered a White Rose of Sharon, and I received exactly what was pictured...a 9" PLANT loaded with buds, a few open flowers, and black healthy soil. So, depending on how many years you want to wait to have a bush (versus this two inch leafy stick), you might be better off shopping at your local garden stores or using a different Amazon merchant.

Sugar Tip Hibiscus - Hibiscus syriacus. Family: Malvaceae (Hibis-cus: ancient Greek and Latin name, syri-acus: Syrian). The Only Variegated Hibiscus with DOUBLE Blooms! The flower show begins in midsummer and doesn't end till mid-fall! Plant Patent Applied For. How's this for nonstop color from spring through fall Every leaf of this delightful new Rose of Sharon is splashed with creamy white (beginning pale yellow in spring and lightening as the sun grows more intense in summer) around the edges, giving the plant its name of Sugar Tip . A bit more formal in appearance than other Hibiscus, it makes a fine specimen, windbreak, tall foundation plant, and more. But when midsummer arrives and the gorgeous double blooms begin opening, the show really kicks into high gear!
These flowers are as lovely and many-petaled as Roses, boasting a pale lilac-influenced shade of pearly-pink that adds a cooling note to the blazing summer garden. Sugar Tip is sterile, so instead of putting out a few blooms and then making seed, it spends all its energy setting new buds. The result is MONTHS of nonstop blooms lasting all the way through early fall in most climates and even later in areas where frost comes late or not at all. Like most Hibiscus, Sugar Tip is eager to grow and absolutely determined to bloom, no matter what the weather does. Very tolerant of heat and humidity, it puts up with any well-drained soil, and appreciates plenty of water for the best bloom show. The plant you will recieve is growing in a 2 1/4" pot.

(H. s. Antong Two ppaf) Say hello in Korean to the only miniature Rose of Sharon. A unique little shrub with dainty little white flowers punctuated with a showy red eye. The plant appear to be polyploidy because it has thick, dark green leaves and the flowers last for three days instead of the typical one day before falling. Creates many new landscape and garden uses; great for mixed containers, mixed perennial beds or for around decks or entry gardens. Developed by noted plantsman Dr. Shim of South Korea.

White Chiffon Hibiscus - Rose of Sharon - NEW LOOK Review

The three pots I ordered arrived at exactly the date promised. All three had lush green foliage and some buds and about 6 - 9' high. They were packed and labeled properly with a page of instructions that went with the package. I immediately sprayed water with a few drops of Hormex in the pot and on the leaves to help the roots and the plants grow normally, after a few days in transit. It's now the second day that they are at home near a bright window and I think they are growing or recovering nicely. Over the weekend, I will repot them and put them in a half shaded area in my garden for a week or so before I put them under direct morning sunlight. Thank you, Hirt's Gardens!

I got this for a good friend's birthday, this being my first online Plant purchase naturally I was petrified that something could go wrong......possibly that the plant would not survive it's long journey intact! But thankfully it was received just in time and in pristine condition looking just like it did in the picture on the site. Living, breathing, lovely......Great gift!!! I will surely do this again!!!

This tropical evergreen perennial not only tolerates the low light and dry conditions found in most homes, it actually makes the indoors healthier! When NASA did a study on 'sick building' syndrome, peace lilies were rated among the top ten air cleaning plants for interiors. This lily produces flowers from May to August, with elegant flowers lasting about six weeks. As the flowers age, they turn from white to pale green. Its glossy lance-shaped leaves lean out as sails from the center of the lily. The pot has a 5? diameter, and the plant stands between 10? and 12? tall
