Hollyhocks (Perennials)

Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) are iconic cottage‑garden flowers known for their towering spires of vibrant, saucer‑shaped blooms that add dramatic vertical interest to any landscape. Blooming in a wide range of colors—including pink, red, white, yellow, and near‑black—hollyhocks attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while thriving in full sun and well‑drained soil. These hardy biennials or short‑lived perennials are perfect for borders, fences, and farmhouse‑style gardens, offering old‑fashioned charm, long‑lasting summer color, and reliable pollinator support
