This compact hollyhock grown for its large, fully double blooms on shorter, sturdy stems. This selection flowers at a manageable height, producing ruffled blooms in a mix of soft and bright shades from late spring into early summer.
Cutting spent stems to the base after first flush can encourage a lighter second round and keeps it tidy through the summer. Forms a dense mound of rounded, slightly coarse foliage, with flower stalks that rise just above the leaves rather than towering overhead.
The plant looks full and balanced when in bloom, with multiple stems opening at once instead of a single tall spike.
