Re: Picture Posted by Alvin, z6 on May 28, 2025, 7:43 pm, in reply to "Picture" Fred, is Blue Chiffon a semi-double or a double? Looks like a semi, in your closeup pic.

Re: Picture Posted by Jason Western PA on May 28, 2025, 8:27 pm, in reply to "Picture" Nice! I think I got one last year? hahah I have so many rose of Sharons. Do your reseed? Mine do. I just gave my mom her first rose of sharon. She is excited.

Re: Picture Posted by Fred SC on May 29, 2025, 7:25 am, in reply to "Re: Picture" Jason, this one does not reseed But most of the others do. They are easily pulled up when small. I have a double baby pink one starting to bloom, but for some reason it is slow to get many bloom. This year. I have a single blue one as well. I have a white one and some bright pink ones also. They are considered somewhat weedy, but the beautiful bloom makes it worthwhile to grow .

Re: Picture Posted by Fred Sc on May 29, 2025, 7:27 am, in reply to "Re: Picture" Alvin , the blooms vary in same bush. A few single , semi- double and double .

Re: Picture Posted by Alvin, z6 on May 30, 2025, 3:03 pm, in reply to "Re: Picture" My 'Freedom' behaves similarly. It is considered a semi double, but will occasionally produce a single flower.

Re: Picture Posted by Rob on June 1, 2025, 5:48 pm, in reply to "Picture" Mine aren't blooming yet but lots of buds. Blue Chiffon Pink Chiffon Diana Carnival Blue & Pink Syrian Ketma Purple & Whites I got all mine from Walmart years ago but dont think they sell them now. Love yours Fred

Re: Picture Posted by Fred SC on June 5, 2025, 10:40 pm, in reply to "Re: Picture" I love them all. I have a small Diiana now. I have blue and pink Chiffons as well as pink and purplish pinkish mauve, kinda old time ones.
