The large single blooms climb dramatically skyward on statuesque stems, creating that dreamy old-world cottage garden feeling we can never resist. Bees absolutely adore the open flowers, and the dark coloring makes nearby pastel blooms positively shimmer by contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing an impressive 6–8' tall, ‘Nigra’ thrives in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and regular moisture during the growing season. Though technically a short-lived perennial or biennial, it often self-sows happily where content, gifting future generations of these mysterious beauties. Perfect against fences, walls, or tucked behind lower-growing companions, this hollyhock brings instant vertical drama and timeless romance to the garden. We especially love it mingling with foxgloves, roses, and soft apricot blooms for a look that feels straight from an antique painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Annie's Annuals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43497926590523,"sku":"AA629","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3455\/6475\/files\/Alcea_rosea_-_Nigra_-_3.png?v=1778719426","url":"https:\/\/www.anniesannuals.com\/products\/alcea-rosea-nigra","provider":"Annie's Annuals \u0026 Perennials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
