The stately spikes of Alcea rosea (Hollyhocks) bring old-garden charm with towering stems covered in cup-shaped blooms in shades of pink, red, white, yellow and purple. These plants typically reach 5–8 ft tall in Canadian gardens, forming a dramatic backdrop in cottage-style borders when grown in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. A hardy biennial or short-lived perennial suited to many Canadian zones, they thrive when spaced for good air circulation and supported in wind-prone areas. Explore our hollyhock collection to bring height, colour and pollinator appeal to your garden space.
