This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.




Gorgeous rose pink flowers. An amazing new release dwarf Hollyhock. The plants are compact but the frilly, double flowers are big, each bloom is 7-9cm across. The flowers last well in a vase.
The Hollyhock Spring Celebrities Collection is remarkable, the compact plants are quick to grow and establish and do not need staking. The flowers are just as beautiful, and the stems are compact, well branched and covered in foliage.
Hollyhock grows well in any well drained soil. Hollyhock likes a full sun position and should be sheltered from strong winds. Grow Hollyhock Spring Celebrities in garden beds, borders or containers.
The upright stems provide your garden with good vertical interest. They grow vigorously and should be fertilised in spring and summer. Keep just moist when growing. Plant in moderately fertile to humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot.
Hollyhock have rounded lobed leaves that grow all along the strong stems.
Remove spent flowers and add some fertiliser to encourage a second flush of blooms and promote a healthy plant. Allow the second round of flowers to set seed for future generations.
The botanic name, Alcea originated from the plant species use in medicine. It comes from Altheo which means to heal or to cure.
