Collection: Hollyhock Plants - Alcea rosea

Hollyhock plants (Alcea rosea) bring classic cottage-garden charm, impressive height, and vibrant color with tall stems lined in showy flowers. These flowering plants add dramatic vertical interest and can attract bees and other pollinators. Plant them in full sun and well-drained soil, where their theatrical spires can punctuate fences, walls, and the backs of borders. Mature height varies by selection, so check the individual plant page before assigning one a starring role.

Depending on variety and climate, hollyhocks may behave as biennials or short-lived perennials, and some self-sow when happy. Give them good air circulation and water at soil level when practical. Hollyhocks are also wonderful for cutting gardens. Pair them with Delphiniums for a beautifully layered cottage-garden look, or read our guide to growing Hollyhocks for planting and care help.
