Description

Bring a touch of vintage charm to your garden with our Alcea rosea Creme de Cassis (Hollyhocks) bare root plants. This striking variety stands out with its unique, bi-coloured blooms of deep berry purple fading to a soft, creamy white at the edges, creating a captivating ombre effect.

Ideal for traditional cottage gardens or as a standout feature in mixed borders, this hollyhock blooms from June to August, showcasing tall spires laden with large, semi-double flowers that attract butterflies and pollinators. Growing to a height of 1.5-2 metres with a spread of 0.5-0.7 metres,

Alcea rosea Creme de Cassis thrives in full sun and appreciates well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Hardy and resilient, it brings height and drama to garden displays, making it perfect for planting along fences, walls, or at the back of borders for a layered effect. While these hollyhocks aren’t typically suited for pots due to their height, they are easy to care for in garden beds, adding timeless elegance with minimal effort.

Space the plants around 45-60 cm apart to allow for good air circulation and optimal growth. Supplied as bare root plants, they establish quickly when planted in spring (March/April), setting the stage for a summer filled with spectacular blooms. Choose Alcea rosea Creme de Cassis (Hollyhock) for a garden that captures the spirit of classic English charm and invites nature in with its pollinator-friendly appeal.
