ALCEA SEEDS

The Alcea genus, commonly known as Hollyhocks, is a classic member of the Malvaceae family, admired for its tall, stately flower spikes. These biennial or short-lived perennial plants produce vibrant, saucer-shaped flowers in a wide array of colours, including pink, red, yellow, white, and purple, making Alcea a favourite for cottage gardens and borders.

Native to regions of Europe, Asia, and North Africa, Alcea thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations. Their impressive height and prolific blooms make them excellent for creating vertical interest in garden designs. Among its species, Alcea rosea is particularly well-known, with its traditional single or double flowers that bloom throughout summer.

The Alcea genus is not only ornamental but also historically significant, with its flowers and seeds used in traditional medicine and dyes. Combining beauty, versatility, and ease of growth, Alcea plants are a timeless choice for gardeners looking to add charm and vertical drama to their landscapes.
