Description

The listing, Black Hollyhock x 8seeds has ended.

Black Hollyhock (Alcea rosea nigra) was described as early as 1639 by John Parkinson, as being "of a dark red like black blood" an apt description for the large single flowers that grace this plant in June and July.

Although classed as a biennial, they often live for several years. Mine are in their 4th year, blooms profusely and is over 6ft. These seeds are from my plant.

It will form large rosettes of round hairy leaves by Autumn and will bloom the following summer with stalks 6-8ft high. They thrive in full sun and in soils that are not too rich or wet. Mine are in part shade.

Sow seeds in summer or Fall. Zones 5b-10a.
Bloom time Mid Summer-Late Summer/Early Fall.
Do not over water.
Self sows freely.
