Description
Create a stunning display in your garden with Alcea Peaches and Dreams (Hollyhock). This enchanting variety showcases large, fully double blooms in a blend of soft peach, pink, and cream tones, adding a romantic touch to any planting scheme. With tall, sturdy stems reaching up to 1.5-2 metres, it’s perfect for adding height and structure to borders, providing a breathtaking backdrop for other perennials.
Alcea Peaches and Dreams thrives in full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil, blooming from June to August. Its impressive spikes of ruffled flowers not only bring classic charm to cottage gardens but also attract butterflies and pollinators, enriching your garden’s ecosystem.
Plant these hollyhocks with about 45-60 cm of space between each to encourage air circulation and healthy growth, helping to reduce the risk of rust. Although best suited for garden beds, they can be grown in large, deep containers with proper support. Supplied as bare root plants, they establish well when planted in spring (March/April) and reward gardeners with a captivating summer display.
For a garden that bursts with colour and timeless elegance, Alcea Peaches and Dreams (Hollyhock) is an exceptional choice, offering beauty and life throughout the warm months.
