Hollyhock Spring Celebrities is a dwarf variety which will produce sturdy stems with an abundance of fragrant, frilly blooms. This selection will produce nectar-rich flowers in shades of red, pink, white and coral and are perfect for attracting bees to your garden.
A favourite in the cottage garden, this tall and slender plant is a magnificent sight in late summer when each stem is clothed in ruffled bright pink pompom blooms. Hollyhock rosea 'Pleniflora' looks spectacular grown in large groups. It also grows well at the back of the border where it provides a dramatic backdrop to other, smaller flowering plants. Althaea rosea grows best in a sunny site. Height: 180cm (71). Spread: 60cm (24).
Hollyhock 'Nigra' is a tall, vigorous perennial, with rounded, palm-shaped leaves and their instantly recognisable, towering spires of single, loose trumpet-shaped flowers which are a deep chocolate-maroon, almost black. A cottage garden favourite, this is a plant that is invaluable at the back of the flower border to add height and colour and to bring some classic Victorian style to your planting schemes. The desirable black flowers make this a plant that is always in demand, and this is your opportunity to get your hands on them first! Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators' because the huge flower spikes are produced form early summer from the base of large leaves and are adored by butterflies and bees, so by growing them you also help to attract wildlife into your garden. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting out or potting on, plants will reach around 1.5m (5ft) when in bloom. Note plants are dormant October - March so may show no leaves in the pot.
Hollyhocks are heirloom cottage garden perennials, well-loved for saucer-shaped blooms that attract butterflies and make a dramatic cut flower. Hollyhock 'Chater's Double Mixed' delivers architectural spires of ruffled, doubled blooms, which add height and structure to summer borders and provide a riot of colour. The edible flowers of Alcea rosea ?Chater?s Doubles? can even be added to salads for an attractive, tasty treat.
The perfect mix for cottage garden borders! This cheery blend of pink Hyacinth and Anemone blanda create a delightful spring display. Uniform planting schemes of the same colour or species can look contrived, but this charming blend brings a relaxed, informality to the garden.
