The Spring Celebrities White Hollyhock has stunning 3-inch wide white flowers that grow on tall, upright stems. This cultivar is a dwarf variety, but the stems will still reach up to 36 inches tall, making this perennial an excellent choice for a bed that needs some drama. Alcea rosea annua is a hardy plant that blooms from late spring until midsummer. Flowers near the bottom of the tall stalks bloom first, and buds continue to open in ascending order. The stems also feature bright green foliage.
Hollyhock is a perennial commonly found in traditional gardens. This dwarf variety will look charming in beds, borders, or mass plantings. Trim the stalk to use in an arrangement. The Spring Celebrities White Hollyhock is beautiful, easy to maintain, and grows as a perennial in USDA growing zones 6 through 8.
Spring Celebrities White Hollyhock Care
Keeping with this plant’s easy-care vibe, Hollyhocks can live in full sun or partial shade. The ideal combination is morning sun and afternoon shade, especially when grown in warmer climates. Use rich, loamy soil that promotes drainage and water weekly or when the soil feels dry. Apply a balanced fertilizer each spring and by June switch to monthly applications of high-phosphorus fertilizer with a ratio like 10-30-20.
Trim the stalks back to 6 inches tall by late summer, after the flowers have faded. Place mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots and help them overwinter.
Spring Celebrities White Hollyhock Spacing
This upright plant will grow 24 to 36 inches tall and spread 12 to 18 inches. Create a full planting by spacing these perennials 8 to 12 inches apart.
