What kind of flowering bush is in Arkansas??

We saw some beautiful bushes in Conway, ARK. They have hundreds of flowers on them and they come in reds, pink, white and salmon colors. Some were small but others were about 9 feet tall and about 8-10 feet in diameter on the large ones. I know they are not azaleas. They were in bloom this time of year. Any possible ideas?? A friend said Rose of Sharon but info says they bloom summer to autumn.

No more guessing games, I got the facts right from the top, TAB TOWNSELL, MAYOR of CONWAY ARKANSAS. From his city hall office comes the word that the Crape Myrtle busting out early this year and really putting on a show. The Arkansas Dept of Transportation expects heaver then usual traffic this weekend because of the many festivals thru out the state and by folks wanting to check out all the beautiful spring flowers.


You want the right answer, do guess. Go talk to those who are in the know. Thanks to MAYOR TOWNSELL and his CITY HALL STAFF.

Reply:cant help you there but a rose of sharon strongly resembles a hibiscus flower
Reply:Most likely they are Rhododendron, very similar to Azaleas but in Arkansas are later blooming. both plants will sometimes bloom now in Arkansas, we%26#039;ve had a cool spring, and I%26#039;m still seeing Azaleas bloom in southern Arkansas so I%26#039;m sure they would be in Conway as it%26#039;s much farther north that I am. Hope this helps.
Reply:those were crepe myrtles but they could have been a climbing tea rose. i have 2 rose of sharon in my yard and they have not bloomed yet and they have just finished growing leaves.in the spring i look at them with hpoe that they will soon grow folige as the azaleas and hosta are growing like crazy.i have a big flower garden in front of my house and i planted purple pansies.they go with the pinks and off purples.

Reply:they could be crepe myrtle or wisteria,,they are like a vine if let alone,,but most people trim them and they become a bush I have one myself,,
Reply:The odds are it was a Hydrangea. There are many different types and several of our local stores some unique ones.





Hydrangeas are very common in Arkansas.
Reply:My guess is Crape Myrtle.
