Alcea Creme de Cassis - Hollyhock

This hollyhock will command the center of attention with its 3-4 inch wide flowers. The showy blooms are white with a raspberry-red eyezone and a small, yellow throat. Both single and semi-double blooms can be found on a single stem. Hollyhocks provide excellent architectural height, contrast and a certain amount of old world charm to cottage gardens and border backgrounds. Also effective, when grown in a cluster, against walls or fences. May need to be staked if planted in a windy site. Rich, moist, well-drained soil is essential. Supplied in approx 1 litre containers.
