Alcea Plants

Alcea Plants produce tall, colorful spires that attract hummingbirds, butterflies and the increasingly-elusive honey bee. This perennial’s blooms are long-lasting and flower upwards from the bottom, producing regal spires of bell-shaped blossoms.

Alcea, pronounced al-SEE-uh, also commonly called Hollyhock, is best suited for locations out of strong winds, though new dwarf varieties are being developed that are more wind-tolerant. Alcea makes an ideal backdrop against fences and walls, or as a frame for lower borders or cottage plantings. If the ideal wind-free location is not available, we recommend using plant supports to keep the stalks from breaking. Alcea are vigorous self-seeders if the spent blooms are not removed and can also be grown under Black Walnut trees, where most bloomers cannot.

This variety can even be grown in containers and looks utterly spectacular grown in front of their much taller cousins, serving to hide the longer, heavy stalks. As a cut flower, they won't topple your smaller vases.
