Alcea filicifolia Antwerp Stars Mix Seeds - Hollyhock

Hollyhock Antwerp Stars Mix (also known by its Latin names : Alcea filicifolia and Althaea filicifolia) very hardy, ephemeral perennial with single, multicoloured flowers blooming from June to August. From the mallow family, it is a plant that is typically used in cottage gardens.

Widespread in our French countrysides where it bears many pretty common names, the hollyhock is often grown at the back of beds or placed against a wall to protect it from strong winds. 

In the year following sowing, tall floral stems quickly shoot up from its small clumps of lobed leaves, reaching up to 1.50 m high.

The multi-coloured spikes carry (yellow, dark red, bright red, pink, pale pink and white) 5 to 8 cm, cup-shaped single flowers that bloom in a staggered fashion, from June to August. During this period, they will attract bees and butterflies to your garden.
