Hollyhock 'Queeny Purple' |
Hollyhock 'Queeny Purple' Flower Award Winner
'Queeny Purple' is the shortest Alcea rosea and the first purple hollyhock
available as a single color not part of a mixture. These unique traits combined with
season-long flower color resulted in 'Queeny Purple' winning an AAS Award. The frilly
edged blooms are a "powder puff" type having a cushion center. They measure 3 to
4 inches and are produced abundantly on the compact branching plants. 'Queeny Purple'
plants will reach a mature height of 20 to 30 inches, perfect for smaller space gardens.
'Queeny Purple' is an annual that will flower prolifically the first year from a February
or March sowing. 'Queeny Purple' seed will be available from mail order catalogs and
plants may be purchased from garden centers.
