Alcea rosea "Mars Magic"
Availability: Out of stock
Alcea 'Mars Magic', sometimes called Mars Magic Hollyhock, enthrals gardeners with its vivid, deep red blossoms that grace tall, robust stalks. This perennial, which blooms from mid-summer to early autumn, is notable for its huge, rounded flowers that draw butterflies and bees and increase biodiversity. Its 1.8-meter vertical growth habit makes it a perfect choice for a dramatic backdrop in cottage gardens or for adding height and drama to borders. Mars Magic likes well-drained soil and grows best in full light. It only has to be watered frequently and occasionally fed with a balanced fertiliser, making maintenance quite simple. To encourage development and shield tall stems from severe winds, stake them.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
