Love hollyhocks but don’t have the head space for a 6-foot-tall flower spike? Sidalcea malviflora ‘Rosaly’ has the same round leaves and forms a short mound. This “Miniature Hollyhock” is smaller in stature with multiple spikes of outward-facing, cupped flowers that reach 36 to 48 inches tall. The fringed edges of silky, light pink to pale rose petals give these long-lasting flowers a dainty look and are perfect for cut flower arrangements, while seamlessly blending into borders and container gardens. Best in full sun in cool summer areas or part shade in hotter spots, ‘Rosaly’ appreciates consistent moisture and rich loamy soil, but will tolerate clay with a bit of added compost. Prune spent flower spikes back in Summer for a second round of blooms in early Fall, cut back to the ground for winter, divide plants every 2 or 3 years to refresh for continuous flowering. Attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators.
