Question for those with green thumbs...

While walking around my neighborhood I've noticed these very tall plants with flowers - like 10 feet tall that don't have much spread. I've seen pink and purple ones. I'd love to get them but I have no idea what they are. Any ideas?

Be careful with the Rose of Sharon!!!! They self seed! They are gorgeous though!

We pulled out like 15 of those this spring & Summer! I only have 3 left in the yard & I think I will plant them all together next spring.
