Hollyhock 'Spring Celebrities Crimson'
- Part of the more compact 'Spring Celebrities' series of hollyhocks, 'Crimson' grows between 60 and 90cm tall, making it ideal for smaller borders and container-growing.
- The striking burgundy hues of the flowers contrasts brilliantly with the lovely lobed green foliage, which serves as a canvas against which the flowers can truly shine.
- Unlike with some talller varieties, 'Spring Celebrities Crimson' doesn't require any additional staking to prevent the flowers from flopping over.
- An excellent pick for cut flowers, these blooms look beautiful styled in bouquets and vase arrangements.
- Hollyhocks such as this one are popular with pollinating insects like bees and butterflies, making them a great pick for wildlife gardens.
