Notes
'Fiesta Time' hollyhock (Alcea rosea 'Fiesta Time') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Plants reach 24 to 36 inches tall, so they fit well at the back of a bed.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Sun Up largeflower tickseed, and Mars Madness aloalo.
