Alcea rosea

Not for the timid, these Hollyhocks can grow 6-9' tall! Beautiful old variety has multi-colored single blooms of white, pink, red, and burgundy. Loved by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Outhouse gets its name because it used to be planted around outhouses, both to mask smell and add a pretty visual barrier. Perfect background plant for borders.

Direct seed or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Hollyhock will need full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, hollyhock will need at least an inch of water per week. Typically grown for flowers. Biennial.
