Alcea rosea Red, commonly known as Hollyhock Red, is a stunning flowering perennial that thrives in the Irish climate. Its vibrant red blooms and impressive height make it a sought-after choice for gardeners in Ireland.
Height/Spread: Hollyhock Red can reach an impressive height of 5-7 feet (150-210 centimeters) with a spread of 2-3 feet (60-90 centimeters). Its tall stature creates a dramatic focal point in gardens and adds vertical interest to landscapes.
Position: This variety of Hollyhock flourishes in full sun or partially shaded areas in the Irish climate. It appreciates a well-positioned spot that receives ample sunlight during the day but is also sheltered from strong winds.
Soil: Hollyhock Red prefers well-drained soil that is fertile and rich in organic matter. In the Irish climate, it thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil pH levels. Adequate soil preparation with compost or well-rotted manure prior to planting ensures optimal growth.
Flowering Season: Hollyhock Red showcases its stunning blooms during the summer months, typically from June to August, perfectly aligning with the Irish climate. The deep red flowers stand out against the lush green foliage, creating a striking visual impact in gardens.
Uses: Hollyhock Red is a popular choice for adding height, color, and visual interest to Irish gardens. Its tall, stately presence makes it suitable for back borders, cottage-style gardens, or as a backdrop for lower-growing plants. The vibrant red blooms attract pollinators, adding biodiversity to the garden. Additionally, cut flowers from Hollyhock Red can be used to create beautiful floral arrangements.
