Alcea rosea, commonly known as Hollyhocks, are essential in cottage gardens. Producing tall flower spikes adorned with massive blooms, they are a perfect addition for vertical height and drama in your garden. Hollyhocks are either biennials or perennials, both of which will bloom from early summer through fall, creating a whimsical flurry of color in the landscape.
