Rose of Sharon with chlorosis
 

I have two Rose of Sharon and both show signs of chlorosis. The
leaves are light green in color instead of normal dark green.

Remedies appreciated.

Fertilize them would be the obvious answer.

What would be the "obvious" type of fertilizer?

Rose of Sharon's leaves emerge rather late in spring & are at first
naturally yellow, will later harden to green.

Hello Travis :-))

Hibiscus often suffer from chlorosis, typically due to a lack of needed
trace elements, usually iron, zinc and/or manganese. A good balanced
fertilizer with added trace elements ( I like Dr Earth's Organic 8 -
specifically recommended for hibiscus ) should do the trick.

For a really fast, tonic-like approach, spray the foliage and the surface of
the root zone with MirAcid (aka MiracleGro for Acid Lovers). This delivers
chelated iron rapidly and you should see noticeable greening in a week or
two.

Go to a Home Depot, Lowes or some other store with a garden section and see
the obvious for yourself. Believe it or not, it will say right on the
package what it is for! Amazing isn't it?

"Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.
"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
