Alcea Perennial Singles

The stately beauty of Hollyhocks is one of summer's greatest pleasures. Modern hybrids resemble the towering, 6- to 8-foot clumps from grandmother's garden, but their blooms measure 4-5 inches across and come in luminous colors -- white to pale yellow to pink and burgundy. These Hollyhocks have a long-lived Siberian species, Alcea ficifolia, in their bloodlines and act more like perennials than biennials. They will return in your garden for several years and spread from seed.
