Hollyhock Plant (plant/roots) Double FLOWERS

This Hollyhock Plant is ideal for creating stunning displays of bright, double-flowered blossoms in any garden space. Not only does it attract butterflies and hummingbirds, but it is also long-lasting as a cut flower. It is easy to grow and can be enjoyed year after year.

Hollyhock is a tall, short-lived, herbaceous perennial native to western Asia. In summer (or as early as mid-spring in mild winter climates), clumps of large, rough, heart-shaped leaves give rise to stately, leafy stalks lined with showy rounded blooms. The flowers attract butterflies and bees. Plants in the Chater's Double group have ruffled, fully double flowers, are relatively long lived, and come in various flower colors including 'Chater's RED . Hollyhocks thrive in full sun and moderately fertile well drained soil. Cut back spent flower stalks to encourage further bloom, or leave them to reseed. This old-fashioned flower makes an excellent addition to cottage gardens and mixed borders. Plants often require staking. Watch for rust, Japanese beetles, and powdery mildew.
