Fiji™ Althea

An upright, deer-resistant shrub that turns heads with its layered blooms: medium pink buds open to white flowers brushed with pink around a striking dark red center, fading to soft pink as they mature. It flowers heavily through summer, right through North Texas’ hottest stretch, filling the garden with color when many other shrubs slow down. Its full, upright habit matures to hedge size, making it a natural fit for privacy screening or a standout specimen planting.
