The hollyhock, Alcea, is a classic English cottage garden plant, forming tall erect racemes of large, fully open blooms from summer to early autumn. Hollyhocks are typically perennial, but they're often grown as biennials due to their susceptibility to the fungal disease rust, which can disfigure leaves.
Almost carnation-like in its appearance, Alcea rosea 'Fiesta Time' bears spikes of fully double, bright pink, fringed blooms on stout, dwarf stems. It’s perfect for growing in an ornamental border and makes an excellent cut flower. For best results grow Alcea rosea 'Fiesta Time' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Flowers may be spoiled by wind and rain, so choose a sheltered spot if possible. Cut plants down after flowering, to encourage fresh basal growth.
