Alcea rosea 'Nigra' is a profusely flowering hollyhock with deep, almost black flowers. Ideal for borders and cutting gardens.

Long, sturdy stems make it perfect for borders, flowerbeds, and cutting gardens. A real eye-catcher for those who dare to choose dramatic colors!

Flowering: June – September.

If sown early they can flower in the first year.

For abundant flowering, a spot in full sun is essential. It will be more resistant to rust with adequate nutrition.

Due to its tall, upright growth, Chater's hollyhock may require support, especially in windy locations, to prevent the tall stems from falling over.
