Large, showy, cup-shaped flowers on tall upright spikes. Rough textured, heart-shaped leaves. Flowers come in a range of colors and mixes. Most hollyhocks are biennials which self seed readily and will perform like a perennial once established in the garden. Loved by the hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies!
