Description
Hollyhock Chater's Single Mix (Alcea rosea) is a classic garden favourite, renowned for its striking tall spikes adorned with single, cup-shaped blooms in a vibrant mix of pink, white, yellow, and salmon. Known for its dramatic vertical form, this plant adds elegance and height to any landscape, creating a beautiful cottage-garden effect. Blooming from mid to late summer, the flowers are held on sturdy, upright stems, making them perfect for the back of borders, along fences, or against walls where their height can be fully appreciated.
As a biennial or short-lived perennial, Chater's Single Mix may take two years to flower from seed, but it will self-seed and return year after year. With its vigorous growth, this variety can reach impressive heights of up to 2.1 metres, providing bold vertical interest that draws the eye upwards. The large, vibrant blooms not only add colour to the garden but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making them an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly spaces.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Hollyhocks require some space to reach their full potential, but they make a spectacular statement when planted in groups. Once established, they are low-maintenance, needing only occasional watering and deadheading to keep them looking their best. Whether used as a stunning focal point or to add height and colour along a wall or fence, Hollyhock Chater's Single Mix remains an enduring favourite that enhances any garden with beauty, structure, and life.
