Hollyhocks are tall, majestic biennials or short-lived perennials, known for their towering spires of large, colourful, single or double flowers. Blooming from midsummer to early autumn, these classic cottage garden plants add vertical interest and a vibrant splash of colour in shades of pink, red, yellow, white, and purple. Hollyhocks thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them ideal for planting along walls or fences in UK gardens. Their showy blooms are also a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies, making them perfect for wildlife-friendly spaces.
