Alcea rosea, Malvaceae

The hollyhock is a very old flowering plant that originated in Asia and has been cultivated in Europe since the 16th century. Its slender spikes sometimes climb up to 3 m! It can be found in several forms, in a variety of colors, with single or double petals: here, we share the simple, classic form of this species, which grows as a biennial in the garden, and sometimes as a perennial. For a sunny position in soil that drains well, to prevent the rust that sometimes affects the leaves... Extraordinary cut flower, time for your bouquets!
