Hollyhock Rosea ‘Pleniflora’

The ultimate cottage garden perennial, Hollyhock rosea ‘Pleniflora’ produces fully double, pink pom-pom blooms all the way up its impressive 1.8m (6′) tall stems. The tall, slender habit of Hollyhocks makes them perfect for planting in close groups for maximum effect. Thriving in sunny borders, grow Hollyhock ‘Pleniflora’  towards the back of the border to add height and drama to summer planting schemes. Height: 180cm (71″). Spread: 60cm (24″).
