Alcea rosea 'Chaters Double Red'
Alcea rosea ‘Chater’s Double Red’ is a breathtaking biennial or short-lived perennial showcasing towering spikes of plush, fully double scarlet-red blooms that cascade upward from sturdy stems. It reaches 4–6 ft (120–180 cm) in height—sometimes even touching 8 ft—and spreads about 18–24 in (45–60 cm), making a dramatic statement in sunny borders or cottage-style plantings. The blooms open progressively along the stem from mid-to-late summer, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, and are excellent for fresh or dried bouquets. Thriving in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soil, it is deer- and rabbit-resistant, though susceptible to rust in humid conditions. Once planted, it readily self-seeds, often returning year after year .
