Alcea rosea 'Chater's Double' Mix

Alcea rosea 'Chater's Double' Mix
(Hollyhock) Large double flowers in a mix of luscious colors, golden-yellow, rose, maroon, salmon-pink, scarlet, and white, on strong, tall stems. Commonly planted in the garden's back row to add another level of color, Hollyhocks are also good for screening unsightly areas and planting along a fence line to add an extra layer of privacy. Blooms appear in mid summer and last through fall. Prefers full sun. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds; deer and rabbit resistant. Excellent cut flowers. Biennial, blooming second year from seed. 5-7', Z3-8.
