Gorgeous, long-lasting blooms and distinctive, rust-resistant, fig-shaped leaves define this lesser-known but just as majestic hollyhock. Robust plants grow 4-6' tall and produce multiple stems from each base; stems stay flush with stately single blooms in a palette of cream, gold, rose pink, copper, and purple from midsummer until frost. These hollyhocks impress in the garden as tall border plants; their long stems and lasting blooms make them an excellent cut-flower choice. Perennial.
