Brilliant red and PERENNIAL - not biennial, like the more commonly-grown Hollyhocks. Instead of creating 1, 2 or 3 stalks, these display many erect stems arising from the base. They quickly grow to 6-7’ tall and 4’ wide, at the top, while the base starts under 3’ around, adding a really nice shape to the garden - and they don’t need staking! They bloom from early Summer until Fall, although, if I remember right, they didn’t bloom the first year. Long lived, and they’re substantially more RUST RESISTANT than the average Hollyhock. I bought my original plant from Annie’s Annuals 5+ years ago and it’s still thriving! (They no longer carry it).

They like good, well-drained, composted soil (like most things) but are really easy going.  Cut back to the base in Winter.

You will get the equivalent of one seed head (shown) which is a lot of seed. Shipping included.
