Description

Alcea ‘Jet Black’ picture  thanks to http://www.jelitto.com

This hollyhock has the deepest dark maroon red  flowers which appear almost black in colour.  Alcea ‘Jet Black’ is an old- fashioned plant , dating back to the 17 century.  It  has been very popular with gardeners through the years. This alcea performs well in most situations, and its tall nearly black single flowers  are produced each year, benefiting the garden design  with its structural properties.  The plant dies down in winter,  to a small rosette in warm temperatures and in cold ones will lose its leaves entirely. It will re-emerge  in spring , and the flowers will take your breath away, they are so beautiful.  Plant them along paths to provide a nice outline  and fences to show off their beauty .

All of them are beautiful producing their statuesque, lovely flowers over spring and summer.  They will lighten your heart with their display.
