Alcea rosea ‘Chaters Mix’ (Hollyhock)

 

 

 

 

 

Also known as ‘Chater’s Magnificent Mixture,’ this seed mixture introduced by Jelitto includes fully double saucer-shaped blooms of salmon pink, violet, white, chestnut brown, apricot, scarlet, pink, yellow, and deep purple. A must have for cottage gardens adding height and drama to the back of the border. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage the plant to re-bloom the following year or leave the stalks to allow this biennial to self-seed.
