I have a pink Rose of Sharon, what is the best way to ensure a new plant of the same color?

I have other colors in my yard and when I take the small new plants and transplant I never get a pink one.

The seeds make plants that depend on what color plant they were on combined with what other color plant's pollen happen to fertilize that seed. Between the winds and the bees you never get the exact shade you want.





Try taking cuttings from the big pink-flower plant and rooting them to start a new pink plant. Ignore the seedlings because they are sure to be mixed.





If you have too much time on your hands you could try hand-pollinating a pink flower with pollen from an adjacent pink flower (and then covering the flower to keep other pollen away).
Reply:It will take a while (few weeks till you see some little threads of roots. Best thing is to dip the ends of the branches in a root-grower hormone like Root-tone and then poke them downinto damp sand.





Definitely not overnight. Report It

Reply:We have them too. You can't assure a color. It is pollinated and cross pollenated and you get what you get. I usually put the little plants that come up in a planter and see what color the bloom is. Then transplant.
