PURE SUMMER... ALTHEA ROSE

Tall and colourful hollyhocks give height and beauty to English gardens.

 

They are often found around doorways, where they add to the vertical dimension of the planting, forming a vital part of that thatched cottage look.

 

Also referred to as Althea Rosea.

 

Hollyhocks are very drought resistant, and do well in full sun locations that might be too hot or dry for other plants.

The stems of hollyhocks can be used as firewood, and the roots have been used medicinally.

You can take seeds and grow from singles, never from doubles!

Is the case for many plants!
