Reminiscent of the lush color and luminous cheerfulness found in Gustav Klimt’s paintings of flower gardens, Hollyhocks was created especially for House of Hackney by American artist Kerry Simmons, based on her work of the same name. Repainted in a rich colorway, the print captures all the pastoral purity and romance of “cottage-core”, while our punk spirit is embedded in the print’s riot of flowers. Each roll sold enables House of Hackney to purchase and protect 35 square meters of forest, thanks to our partnership with the World Land Trust – the international conservation charity that safeguards our most vital natural ecosystems and threatened habitats, acre by acre.

This pretty pink and purple perennial is Malva Zebrina, commonly known as Hollyhock Mallow. My daughter saw it at the garden center and loved the pretty flowers, so we added it to my cottage garden. I planted it in front of my tall hollyhock because the colors seemed to compliment each other nicely. I have no experience at all with this plant so I'm hoping it will survive the winter for many more years in my garden. In the past, I've tried starting hollyhocks from seed with no luck at all. This year I purchased a plant from my local nursery and for the first time I have hollyhocks in my garden! I'm hoping it will seed in for many more years of enjoyment. I've learned several things about hollyhocks: 1) The height is astounding! I knew these were tall plants, but still a little surprised by just how tall this one grew. 2) Snails love to eat hollyhock leaves 3) Japanese Beetles love to eat hollyhock blossoms This particular hollyhock is a variety called "Creme De Cassis" If you'd like to try growing Creme De Cassis hollyhock from seed, visit the link below for information and a great description of this adaptable variety. http://parkseed.com/creme-de-cassis-hollyhock-seeds/p/01005-PK-P1/

Nothing evokes the feel of a traditional cottage garden like a crowd of sky-scraping hollyhocks. The towering, upright stems of this Alcea rosea mix soar to an impressive height of 2m or more once established, rising like stately beacons in early summer and often enduring through to September. Chubby buds encircle each vertical stem, opening one at a time from the bottom upwards until the crescendo when every silky bloom is revealed. Alcea 'Hollyhock Mix' is a joyful collaboration of colours from soft pastels to powerful red and black, each mingling beautifully with carefree flamboyance. The gossamer fine petals of hollyhocks flutter delicately, enticing passing pollinators to an irresistible nectar feast. Although hollyhocks are relatively short-lived perennials, they are generous self-seeders, ensuring future generations for many years to come. Easily cross pollinated with other Alcea, it’s always a lovely surprise to find out which colours emerge from one year to the next. Naturally with stems this tall they require a sheltered spot away from strong winds. Plant meandering drifts of Alcea rosea through the back of a sunny border as a backdrop for lower growing shrubs and perennials.
