Hollyhocks.. Alcea (Church Lane)

When you think of a British cottage garden, you think of hollyhocks. Their tall, towering stems can line a path, stand either side of a gate or bring height and colour to the back of a border. They are wonderful plants that flower all summer long, and no country-style garden is complete without them. With their open, saucer flowers splashed all the way up their jack-and-the-bean-stalk stems, they will bring as much joy to you as they do to the butterflies and bumblebees. They come in some brilliant colours.
