This is the first year I am able to get photos of the Rose of Sharon without a lot of bug holes in them. We didn't have anywhere near as many Japanese beetles as we have had in previous years. This is a pale lavender. I have a darker red violet and a white bush right by these. All I planted was the pale lavender but I have both other varieties elsewhere around my house. I guess the birds must be carrying the seeds around. We got some much needed rain last night so maybe the grass will be all green again soon.
