Alcea Rosea Red | Hollyhock
Alcea Rosea Red, commonly known as Hollyhock, is a beautiful and tall flowering plant that can grow up to 2-3 meters in height. It produces large, showy, single or double flowers in shades of vibrant red, adding a stunning pop of colour to any garden. Hollyhocks have a long and rich history, dating back to medieval times when they were used as medicinal plants. Today, they remain popular as ornamental plants due to their striking appearance and ability to attract bees and butterflies.
Why we like it:
- The vibrant red flowers add a stunning splash of colour to any garden.
- Hollyhocks are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for beginner gardeners.
- They attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, which help to maintain a healthy ecosystem in your garden.
What to know:
- Hollyhocks prefer well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight.
- They can grow quite tall, so make sure to plant them in a spot where they won't shade out other plants.
- Hollyhocks are biennials, meaning they have a two-year life cycle. They will produce foliage in the first year and flowers in the second year.
- Hollyhocks may require staking to keep their tall stems from bending or breaking in the wind.
- The flowering period for hollyhocks is typically in mid to late summer, but this can vary depending on climate and growing conditions.
Height and Spread:
- When fully grown, Hollyhocks can reach a height of 2-3 meters and a spread of 1 meter.
