Alcea Hollyhock Queeny Purple

Bring cottage garden charm to small spaces with Queeny Purple Hollyhock, a dwarf variety that produces bold spikes of double purple blooms from mid to late summer. Growing just 18 inches tall with flowers reaching 24 inches, this compact selection is perfect for smaller gardens, borders, and containers where traditional hollyhocks would be too large. Deer-resistant and attractive to hummingbirds, it makes excellent cut flowers. Self-seeding and fast-growing, it creates a traditional garden feel in a space-saving size.
