ALCEA - Queeny Purple
Description:
No more tall, creaky, ready-to-topple Hollyhocks -- Queeny Purple introduces a whole new era for this sun-loving favorite! The dwarf plants are just 2 to 3 feet high, and hold up their bounty of HUGE double blooms beautifully all summer long without staking, propping, or tying! Such a revolutionary new look that it won a 2004 All-America Selection, Queeny Purple is just waiting to transform your sunny garden! This tall plant will need staking if not planted next to a fence or a wall. Remember that cultivars will not come true from seed. This plant is usually grown as a biennial, but can be grown as a perennial if, after flowering, it is cut to 6in above the ground. Burn or discard the remains.
