Fothergill's Hollyhock Chaters Double Mixed Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Alcea rosea, the definitive traditional staple of the British summer border.
• Plant Class: Hardy Perennial, establishing a permanent, structurally impressive focal point that returns to your garden year after year.
• Growth Habit: Reaches a dramatic, towering height of 240cm (96in) with a strong, upright posture that adds instant vertical drama and scale to your landscape.
• Bloom Style: Produces exceptionally showy, fully double flowers with heavily ruffled petals that resemble delicate pom-poms packed closely along the stems.
• Sunlight Position: Remarkably versatile; while thriving in sunny spots, it is well-suited to a partial shade position, allowing you to introduce high-impact height to dappled boundary areas.
• Garden Placement: An ideal choice for positioning at the back of deep borders or planting directly against rustic brick walls, fences, and outbuildings.
• Wildlife Friendly: The grand, nectar-filled columns act as a natural magnet for pollinators, attracting a steady stream of bees and butterflies throughout the summer months.

Care & Growing Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Sow into deep, well-drained soil. Because of their magnificent 2.4-metre height, plant them in a spot sheltered from harsh, whistling winds, or provide stakes as they shoot upwards.
• Maintenance: A tough and resilient variety; cut the tall stems back after flowering to keep the base tidy and encourage healthy, vigorous growth for the following season.
