Alcea 'Queeny Purple'
Plant Details
Zone 5.
No wonder 'Queeny Purple' won the 2004 All American selection award! Not only does this selection bloom beautifully throughout the summer, it does so on a plant thats denser, shorter and much easier to grow than those old fashioned hollyhocks you have struggled with for years! This rotund little beauty produces spikes of royal purple double flowers starting in June and continuing through August on branches so thick they don't even need staking. Magnificent for cutting, lustrous as a hedge, perfect for using as a single specimen to provide a good accent or massed with the promise of waves of unbelievable deep, rich color for any spot, it will be hard not to fall in love with 'Queeny Purple'.
