Alcea Rosea Nigra – Black Hollyhock (Althea)
£6.99
Alcea rosea ‘Nigra’ is a true showpiece with real depth and character! Tall, strong stems bear rich chocolate-maroon flowers that deepen to near black throughout summer. This unique variety is a bold statement against any background and creates a dramatic and unforgettable display.
Traditionally associated with cottage-style borders, its dark, moody tones also suit contemporary and minimalist gardens beautifully. Plant alongside white blooms, or soft pastels for contrast. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil, provide support for taller stems and deadhead to extend flowering for a truly impressive seasonal display.
Supplied in an approx. 1-2 litre container.
