Alcea rosea ‘Crème de Cassis’
- Product number: 572410
- Origin: Eurasia
- Latin: Hollyhock
What a delight when the 1.5–1.8 m tall flower spikes are in full glory: double, semi-double, and single flowers show off in a dark lilac-purple colour with lighter purple or white along the edges.
Hollyhocks are the summer kings of your garden. They love full sun and grow in any soil. Our range of colours is extensive. They are biennial, although the basal rosette often produces new growth, which is further encouraged by removing the faded flowers in time.
