More Information

Description Try to find a plant that showcases the cottage-core aesthetic as well as 'Blacknight' hollyhock. We'll wait. 'Blacknight' features deep purple-black flowers with a yellow eye, positioned along a single stalk that reaches up to six feet tall. We think this earns it a place in every cottage garden. Its towering height makes it an excellent option for growing against walls and fencelines, or as an eclectic backdrop to low-growing perennials. 'Blacknight' is especially attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Though it may require some staking, this hollyhock will be a reliable and intriguing perennial in your garden.

Hollyhocks (or Alcea) have long been an old-fashioned cottage garden staple. This sun-loving classic boasts vibrant flowers, tall stems, and prominent lower foliage, which makes quite a statement in the landscape. Hollyhocks are easy to grow in rich soil and are fairly low maintenance, only requiring a heavy trim after flowering. Even near black walnut trees, hollyhocks manage to find a way to shine. Plant it as a specimen or in masses for a tall wall of color that will never cease to impress!

A bit dramatic

This is a beautiful plant. I can't wait for it to become established. It does require watered frequently. It will definitely let you know when it needs water.
It arrived 6/6/24, and it is now 6/11/24. It arrived alive and well.
