Soaring towers of double and single flowers appearing on the same stems. Alcea, or 'Hollyhocks' are a little piece British gardening heritage that thrived in the Victorian smog. Now, due to our thankfully cleaner, sulphur free air they will require a little care, as like roses they are quite susceptible to rust, a fungus that has a rusting effect on the foliage. If you prefer not to spray with fungicides you can plant at the back of the border and use lower growing plants such as penstemons or delphiniums to hide the foliage. With a little care these are a delight and loved by butterflies and bees. The collection is for one each of Peaches 'n Dreams (pink-peach), Creme De Cassis (white with raspberry ripple effect) and Bridal Bouquet (pure white). Heights 1.5-2m. First grade loose roots supplied.
