Alcea rosea 'Fiesta Time' - Hollyhock

We wanted to find a hollyhock that didn't tower over the garden and would blend it a bit better, or even be usable in containers. Fiesta Time is just that type of selection. Coming in about 3 ft. tall, it produces luxurious pink blooms with plenty of double bloom flair. Fiesta Time emerges pink and fades to a pure white around the edges. It's just the right size to preside over some of our other selections and provide an outstanding vertical element to your garden. Hollyhock is a short lived perennial that produces gorgeous blooms that pollinators love. Blooming in Midsummer this is a perfect plant for following up on spring or early summer bloomers like Phlox, Iris, or Allium. Since Hollyhock are tall they make a great backdrop for other flowering perennials. Planted along a wall or fence they will give the garden depth with other mid-sized plants in front of them.
