Product Description
Alcea rosea 'Fiesta Time' (30)ct Flat
Common Name: Hollyhock
This vibrant seed selection produces relatively short spikes of double, cerise pink, fringed blossoms beginning in midsummer. This is a first year flowering perennial.
The shorter height of 'Fiesta Time' makes it more suitable to courtyard gardens and containers than its taller cousins. Feel free to grow hollyhocks under Black Walnut trees; they are tolerant of the toxic juglone that is emitted through the trees' roots.
Hollyhocks prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate short periods of drought. They need full sun to really perform in the landscape. Watch for Japanese Beetles; this plant is one of their favorites!
