This deciduous shrub is known for its large, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in summer. To propagate rose of sharon 'Aphrodite', semi-hardwood cuttings are taken from healthy, disease-free plants. Choose a well-formed stem, ensuring it includes at least two nodes, and trim just below a node. Dip the cutting in rooting hormone to encourage growth before planting in a moist, well-draining medium. Maintaining consistent humidity and warmth can greatly enhance root development. Proper care during the early stages of growth ensures a stronger, well-established rose of sharon 'Aphrodite'.
