| No other Hollyhock looks like Halo, with its extra-large, two-tone single blooms on very tall stalks! A glorious sight in the sunny garden or your best vase, these lovely flowers are a must-have for anyone who values spectacular color and size in the sunny border!
Halo is a very hardy perennial, surviving frigid zone 3 winters and sweltering zone 9 summers alike. In most gardens it will begin flowering in midsummer and continue through the season, ceasing only when the weather turns chilly in fall. These giant flowerstems sport numerous blooms crowded together -- when fully open, they are a solid wall of rich color! Of course, like all Hollyhocks the buds open from the bottom of the plant upwards, giving you weeks of fresh flowers!
Halo reaches 6 feet high in full sun and rich, well-worked, moist soil. It should be staked or otherwise supported to hold up all those giant blooms, and is destined to become a showstopper in the sunny border or meadow garden. Perfect behind shorter, bushier plants (which can hold it up without your help!), this Hollyhock is the star of any setting. And if you like this white and golden combo, be sure to plant it with its companion, Halo White! Zones 3-9. |
