3 FOR £12
Alcea rosea Polarstar, commonly known as White Hollyhock, is a stunning 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 50cm.
White Hollyhock is known for its impressive spikes of pure white, single flowers with a yellow eye 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 Polarstar 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.
White 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.
