Product Description
A staple of the country garden, Hollyhocks, also known as Alcea, are a sight to see in the summer garden. From June to September, they will produce tall spikes covered in a splendour of ruffled, double blooms, in a range of colours. Growing to a height of 1.8m, they will add beauty and height to summer border displays where they will attract butterflies and bees. 7cm modules supplied.
We guarantee our great value mixture packs contain a comprehensive blend of variety and colours. By definition the components of the mixtures are not labelled/named on arrival.

Growing at a glance…
Water Alcea freely during the growing season and deadhead as necessary to help prolong growth. They are suitable for planting in all types of well drained garden soil, and work best once planted in a sunny or lightly shaded location. To plant, dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the entire root ball. Do this until the top of the soil from the module is just below the top of the pot. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently.
