# I just purchased this Rose of Sharon, which I’m really loving… she’s…

_Posted by Lynda on 2025-08-05_

I just purchased this Rose of Sharon, which I’m really loving… she’s just so pretty with her big pink blooms! However, I didn’t notice the spots I’m seeing now when I was in the nursery, and I’m wondering if this plant has a problem, which means, I have a problem! Does anybody know what those spots are?  
TIA!

It could be thrips. Use Neem oil. Be careful not to spread them to other plants.
