Rose of Sharon - Blushing Bride:

Rose of Sharon - Blushing Bride, Hibiscus syriacus 'Blushing Bride', produces double, rich pink flowers that fade to white. These large flowers are four inches in diameter and start blooming in spring and continue until fall. Blushing Bride is very strong; if cut and put in a vase, it will survive for a longer period of time than many other plants. A moderate grower, it's also pollution-tolerant. Rose of Sharon prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is very tolerant of heat and drought. Keep it well watered during growth. Blushing Bride does best in full sun, but light shade is acceptable, especially in far southern or southwestern climates. One's ability to shape Rose of Sharon also makes the shrub a prime candidate for hedges. It is a profuse bloomer and not only blooms late, but leafs out late as well.

What's New?

"Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce, a study by Newcastle University has found."

"A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe. They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.

The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food."
