Hollyhock, Mallow

 

Alcea rosea
Crème de Cassis

This hollyhock will command the center of attention with its 3-4 inch wide flowers. The showy blooms are white with a raspberry-red eyezone and a small, yellow throat. Both single and semi-double blooms can be found on a single stem. Cooler climates stimulate more double blooms. A stately biennial or short-lived perennial.

Hollyhocks provide excellent architectural height, contrast and a certain amount of old world charm to cottage gardens and border backgrounds. Also effective, when grown in a cluster, against walls or fences. May need to be staked if planted in a windy site. Rich, moist, well-drained soil is essential. Watch for Japanese Beetles, they are very attracted to them.
