Alcea (Hollyhock) 4.5"

There’s nothing quite like hollyhocks standing tall along a fence line or tucked into a garden bed—they feel like a sweet nod to simpler times. With their towering stems lined in soft, ruffled blooms, hollyhocks bring that classic cottage garden charm that never goes out of style.

What It Signifies
Hollyhocks are often seen as a symbol of ambition, fertility, and deep-rooted connection—making them a meaningful addition to gardens that are meant to grow and be shared for generations.

Maximum Height & Spread
Grows 5–8 feet tall and spreads 1–2 feet wide, creating a tall, vertical statement in the garden.

Bloom Time
Blooms in late spring through summer, with flowers opening gradually along each tall stem in shades of pink, red, yellow, white, and even deep burgundy.

Where It Grows Best
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Perfect for planting along fences, walls, or the back of garden beds where it can grow tall and shine. In our Southern climate, good air circulation helps keep plants healthy.

Care Instructions
Water regularly, especially while establishing, but avoid overly wet soil. Taller plants may benefit from staking for support. Remove spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and cut back after the season ends.

Complimentary Plants
Pairs beautifully with delphinium, foxglove, coneflowers, and daisies for a full, layered cottage garden look.

Timeless and full of character, hollyhocks bring height, history, and a sense of home to any garden they’re planted in. 🌿
