Long spikes of large single flowers in a splendid colour range. When sown early it will flower the first year.

Commonly known as the ‘Fig-leaved Hollyhock’ due to its attractive, unusual palmate foliage.

It is a substantially more robust plant than the common hollyhock and unlike the biennial forms which produce a single spire, Alcea ficifolia produce many upright stems emerging from the base, resulting in a bushy form.

It is considered a perennial and will act like one if cut back after blooming and is shown to have the best levels of resistance to rust.

Height: 150 cm.

Supplied as cleaned seed for easier sowing.
