Alcea rosea 'Queeny Mixture' – compact hollyhock with richly filled flowers

Alcea rosea 'Queeny Mixture' is a beautiful, compact hollyhock that creates a colorful and romantic atmosphere in the garden. This special mix combines richly filled double flowers with a compact, bushy growth habit, making the plants perfectly suited for borders, flowerbeds, and decorative garden beds. Thanks to branching growth from the base, a full plant develops with flowers along the entire stems, ensuring long-lasting and abundant flowering.

Unlike traditional tall hollyhocks, the Queeny Mixture has been specially developed as a compact bed and border plant. As a result, this variety fits perfectly in both large and smaller gardens and is also ideal for colorful summer plantings.

Compact hollyhock with double flowers

The great appeal of Alcea rosea Queeny Mixture lies in the richly filled, double flowers that grow close along the sturdy stems. The flowers have a classic, nostalgic appearance and are available in a mix of warm and cheerful colors, ranging from pink and red to yellow, white, and salmon shades.

The compact growth makes this hollyhock particularly versatile. Whereas traditional Alcea varieties often grow tall and slender, the Queeny series forms a bushy, well-branched plant with many side branches. This results in a profusely flowering plant that is perfectly suited for low borders, bedding, and group plantings.

Ideal for borders and flowerbeds

Due to its compact size, Alcea rosea 'Queeny Mixture' is very suitable for use as a bed plant. The plants quickly create a full and colorful sea of ​​flowers and combine beautifully with other summer flowers and perennials.

This hollyhock comes into its own perfectly in:

• Flower borders
• Cottage gardens
• Romantic gardens
• Border planting
• Pick-a-Pick Gardens
• Decorative pots and planters

The double flowers create a luxurious look and also attract butterflies and bees, contributing to a lively and natural garden.

Annual or biennial flowering plant

Alcea rosea Queeny Mixture is usually grown as an annual or biennial plant. With early sown, the plant can often bloom in the first season. The flowering period continues for a long time during the summer months, keeping the garden filled with color for weeks.

The plants grow best in a sunny location in nutritious, well-draining soil. Watering regularly during dry periods and removing spent flowers encourages a longer flowering period and keeps the plants nice and compact.

Strong and versatile garden plant

In addition to its decorative value, this compact hollyhock is also loved for its strong and reliable growth. The sturdy stems remain upright and the plants branch naturally from the base, creating a full appearance without the need for support.
