Description
Black Hollyhock (Alcea rosea ‘Nigra’) is a dramatic, old-fashioned perennial known for its deep, almost black, maroon-colored flowers that create a bold contrast in the garden. Blooming from mid to late summer, these tall, stately plants can reach heights of 5 to 8 feet, making them ideal for back borders, cottage gardens, and vertical interest.
The large, velvety blossoms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to the landscape. Black Hollyhock thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, and while often grown as a biennial, it readily self-seeds, ensuring its continued presence in the garden year after year.
