Hollyhock
Alcea rosea 'Charters Mixture'
Ruffled double flowers in mixed colors begin blooming from the bottom of the stem up.
Hollyhocks have been grown in gardens for centuries, their tall spikes of satiny, crepe-textured flowers making a fine display in mid-summer. Best at the back of a sunny border, with something in front to hide their bare lower stems. This tall strain features a wide range of shades, all with fluffy flowers. Plants usually act as short-lived perennials, but will re-seed themselves for many years. Rust is often a problem, particularly in humid summer regions. Attractive to both butterflies and hummingbirds.
