Alcea (Hollyhock)

Alcea, commonly known as Hollyhock, is a quintessential cottage garden favourite that brings effortless charm and vertical elegance to any outdoor space. Known for their tall, stately spires adorned with an abundance of colourful, saucer-shaped blooms, these classic perennials are ideal for creating eye-catching backdrops or softening walls and fences. Whether you're aiming for a traditional, rustic aesthetic or a naturalistic, wildlife-friendly garden, Hollyhocks fit seamlessly into almost any planting scheme.

Offering a stunning palette of colours ranging from soft pastels to rich, velvety tones, Alcea is loved not only for its beauty but also for its resilience. Blooming in summer, these plants thrive in sunny spots with well-drained soil, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies throughout the season. Their towering height makes them perfect for mixed borders, where they can mingle with other perennials and provide that classic ‘cottage garden’ feel.
