Blacknight Hollyhock

Perennial Blacknight Hollyhock – ALCEA r. ‘Blacknight’ – Spotlight Series. 5-6′ tall, 2′ spread, full sun, midsummer bloom. Deep black-purple, single flowers are produced on tall, sturdy stalks. One of the best traits about this series is that the plants are truly perennial, not biennial. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds & is bee friendly. Zones 3-9. Potted in 3″ pot.

Hollyhocks provide excellent architectural height in the garden and make good backdrops for lower growing perennials. Try growing them in the cottage garden style by planting them up against a wall or picket fence. Though their stalks are very strong, they may need to be staked if they are planted in a windy site.

Hollyhocks prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate short periods of drought. They need full sun to really perform in the landscape. Watch for Japanese Beetles; this plant is one of their favorites!

What Does Your Shipping Schedule Look Like?

We’re currently shipping potted perennials and daylilies. If your order contains items that can ship now and items that don’t ship until August–October, and you want the earlier items now, we recommend placing two separate orders. We can’t split orders, and we always begin with colder zones first.

Please also consider that all perennials need to be in the ground 4–6 weeks before your first freeze.

Orders containing any Lily Bulbs will be held until mid-late March. We cannot split orders.
