The hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is a classic flower in Northern European gardens and streets of old towns and villages. This tough plant can grow even in hard, nutrient poor soil and it self-seeds copiously. The hollyhock exists in a dazzling array of colours, mostly in shades of pink, yellow, red, and purple as well as combinations of the aforementioned colours. There are even black flowered plants! The hollyhock originated in southern China and was introduced to Europe sometime in the 1500’s. If they make you think of tropical hibiscus 🌺, you’re not imagining things - both flowers belong to the Malvaceae family.
