Hollyhock ‘Nigra’
The exceptional coloured blooms of Hollyhock ‘Nigra’ ensure this hardy perennial creates an eye-catching display all summer long! Towering, vertical flower spikes boast black flowers with a contrasting pale centre, that slowly open from the bottom of each stem upwards. This majestic Alcea is perfect for providing a showy focal point at the back of sunny borders and will be loved by butterflies. A wonderful addition to cottage gardens as well as making a stunning cut flower vase display. Height: 200cm (79). Spread: 60cm (24). Culinary note: try crystallising the flowers for a tasty cake decoration, or use them to make a delicately flavoured syrup to use with puddings.
