Alcea rosea ‘Nigra’ (Hollyhock) 1G

A dramatic classic hollyhock with incredibly deep maroon-black single blooms on tall sturdy bloom stalks. A must have for cottage gardens adding height and drama to the back of the border. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage the plant to re-bloom the following year or leave the stalks to allow this biennial to self-seed.
