Description

Hollyhock rosea 'Chater's Double Pink' is a visually captivating biennial or short-lived perennial renowned for its impressive flower spikes adorned with large, fully double blooms in delicate shades of soft rose-pink. This plant is a quintessential feature of cottage gardens, offering both vertical height and vibrant color, making it an ideal choice for planting against walls, fences, or as a backdrop in garden borders. Its striking appearance not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of any garden but also contributes to a sense of traditional charm.

The tall, upright spikes of the Hollyhock are densely packed with peony-like flowers that create a lush and romantic atmosphere in the garden. The blooms, ranging from soft to mid-pink, evoke a sense of nostalgia and elegance, making them a favorite among gardeners seeking to cultivate a classic look. Typically, the flowering period occurs from mid to late summer, providing a burst of color during the warmer months. Additionally, these flowers are known to attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, thereby supporting local ecosystems and enhancing biodiversity.

While Hollyhocks are biennial by nature, they often bloom in their second year and may continue to thrive for a bit longer under favorable conditions. To ensure their stability, especially given their tall stems, it is advisable to provide staking or some form of shelter to protect them from wind damage. Although they are generally hardy and well-adapted to UK climates, they can be susceptible to rust; therefore, ensuring good air circulation around the plants is essential to mitigate this issue. With proper care, Hollyhocks can be a resilient and beautiful addition to any garden landscape. Height: 180cm (71 in). Spread: 60cm (24 in).

How to Grow
Plant out Hollyhocks in sunny borders in fertile, well drained soil. Choose a position that is sheltered from strong winds. Space hollyhock plants at least 60cm (24") apart to improve air circulation and help prevent hollyhock rust.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Feed and water regularly until hollyhocks are fully established. Support their tall stems with bamboo canes as the flower spikes develop. In autumn, cut back the old foliage and faded hollyhock flower stems, and apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant.
