3 FOR £12
Alcea rosea Nigra, commonly known as Black Hollyhock, is a striking biennial or short-lived perennial plant that is native to the eastern Mediterranean region. It typically grows to a height of 1.5-2 metres and has a spread of about 60cm.
Black Hollyhock is known for its impressive spikes of deep, dark-purple or almost black, single flowers that bloom in the summer. These blooms can grow up to 10cm in diameter and are borne on tall, sturdy stems that stand out in any garden. The flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens.
The foliage of Alcea rosea Nigra is green and hairy, forming a rosette in the first year and producing a tall, erect stem in the second year. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, and it is relatively easy to care for.
Black Hollyhock is a popular choice for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and wildflower meadows. It also looks stunning when planted in groups or used as a focal point in the garden.
This beautiful and unusual plant is sure to add a touch of drama to any garden and attract a range of beneficial wildlife. Why not add this striking plant to your collection!
