Description / Jet Black Hollyhock Seeds
An heirloom variety and old garden favorite, Jet Black Hollyhock is a hardy short-lived perennial, often grown as an annual. The ornamental plants are long blooming, flowering from late spring into fall. Full of old-world charm, these hollyhocks produce towering 4- to 6-foot spires with long flower spikes filled with large dark maroon flowers that appear nearly black. The inky blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to the garden and make stunning cut flowers for floral arrangements. The flowers are edible and are often used as a garnish.
An Alcea rosea variety, commonly called hollyhock, Jet Black is an herbaceous plant with an upright habit and rapid growth rate. Shown to best effect when massed or grouped, hollyhocks are old-time favorites, perfect for adding architectural height to the back of borders or for creating a blooming screen of beautiful flowers. Hollyhocks self-seed in ideal conditions and produce colonies, returning year after year.
Jet Black Hollyhocks grow best in a sunny spot with average, moist, well-draining soil but tolerate a wide range of soils and some light shade. Removing faded flowers prolongs flowering and discourages unwanted self-seeding.
