I love this Rose of Sharon! Diana is a luminous and has single flowered pure white blossoms. Mine is trimmed into a little standard, and if the japanese beetles don't shred the flowers (they love them as much as I do) then it is pristine. Drought tolerant, loves sun, and it has never seeded around on me, not once!
