A magical hollyhock in a unique dark purple color with beautiful green foliage. Outstanding in bouquets and incredibly beautiful in borders. An incredible flower variety that is loved by both humans and pollinators. With its late blooming, hollyhocks are also called the queen of late summer in colloquial language, an impressive title that this variety certainly lives up to.
A big plus for this charming variety is that it is perennial and blooms beautifully year after year.
Hollyhocks originate from China and the Aegean Islands to be more precise. However, hollyhocks have been cultivated in Sweden since the early 1600s but were first found in a wild form in Skåne in the 1800s.
We have borrowed this fantastic image from Anna Ramstedt.
