I need help with my Rose of Sharon Bush.?

I planted my rose of sharon bushes in plenty of sun, water good, but during the mid day the leaves wilt, then about late afternoon it perks back up. Does the wind cause this? Maybe too much sun?

Midday wilt is normal for many plants. It's caused by the sun and heat. The plant dehydrates at a faster rate than it can replenish the water from the roots and it wilts until the evening when it all balances out again.





If you just recently planted it, it can take a bit of time for it to become established and for the roots to dig down. If you water the plant too often, the root system becomes shallow and the plant will always wilt in the heat. It's best to water plants with a good soak every few days than to lightly water them once a day. The roots go deeper looking for water and they can withstand droughts much better.
Reply:too much sun and maybe not enough water.
Reply:yes to much sun
Reply:How long has this been planted? If it is newly planted it probably just needs a little time to adjust to its new site. Rose of Sharon love the full sun, have very few insect and disease problems and are not real picky about the soil. Just as a precaution I would mulch it real good to hold the moisture in. If you can find a root stimulator that would also be good to help it get established well.
Reply:It should establish and get a deeper root system and then do well hopefully. If it is planted fairly close to the house with a concrete basement that can cause it as the concrete absorbs moisture
