An old cottage garden plant with large, double, snow-white flowers
Number of seeds: 100 / Botanical name: Alcea rosea
Hollyhocks are quintessential cottage garden plants. They are well-suited as solitary specimens, and due to their size, also for the back of perennial borders or for planting along house walls. Their vibrant blooms appear from July to September. The elegant, double flowers of the white hollyhock add a touch of romance to the garden or fence. The blossoms of the white hollyhock enhance any tea and enrich its flavor. They also make a charming garnish in salads or summer punch.
Natural habitat: Hollyhocks originate from the eastern Mediterranean region and have long been established in Europe and Asia. Since ancient times, they have been used as a medicinal plant and for coloring food.
