Alcea Rosea ‘Apricot’ (Apricot Hollyhock) is a classic cottage garden plant known for its tall flower spikes and soft apricot blooms. It is ideal for borders, fence lines, and feature planting where dramatic height and long-lasting summer colour are desired. Its upright growth habit creates strong vertical structure while attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.

Apricot Hollyhock thrives in full sun and well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It performs best in sheltered positions where tall stems are protected from strong winds and may benefit from staking. Perfect for cottage-style landscapes and traditional garden designs, it delivers impressive seasonal displays and cut flowers.
