Alcea Rosea ‘Spring Crimson’ (Spring Crimson Hollyhock)

Alcea Rosea ‘Spring Crimson’ (Spring Crimson Hollyhock) is a classic cottage garden plant known for its towering flower spikes and richly coloured crimson blooms. It is ideal for borders, fence lines, and feature planting where strong vertical structure and vibrant summer colour are desired. Its tall stems and bold flowers create a dramatic focal point in traditional and informal garden settings.

Spring Crimson Hollyhock thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with regular moisture during active growth.
