Hollyhock - Alcea Rosea - Red – Plantcetera

PRESALE

Fall 2023 Shipping Schedule: 3/1/2024

Hollyhocks (alcea) are perhaps the definitive old-fashioned garden plant. They are the tall, stately flowers you admire in established gardens of older homes. The lofty spires on our hollyhock plants are covered with large, frilled flowers in stunningly beautiful colors. Typically biennial, allow the seeds to fall and the clump will persist and return for years to come. They are Royal Horticultural Society prize winners! They bloom for weeks and create a great back drop and tall garden divider. Plant several packs to create a mass color effect.
