Alcea (Hollyhock)

Alcea (AL-zee-uh), more commonly known as Hollyhock, is a classic biennial plant cherished for its tall, strong, stately stems adorned with sizable, showy flowers. Available in a stunning array of colors, from soft pastels to deep, rich hues, Alcea brings vertical architectural interest and a touch of old-world charm to gardens, borders, and cottage-garden landscapes. Its striking blooms attract pollinators and are a favorite for creating a dramatic backdrop or focal point in any garden design. Alcea thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; though it prefers consistent moisture, it is fairly drought-tolerant, once established. These hardy plants are known for their biennial nature, often blooming in their second year, though many varieties will self-seed, ensuring a continuous display of dramatic color year after year.
