This classic beauty, also known as Alcea rosea annua, has wavy petals that provide vibrant color and texture to a landscape space.

Feed the plants using balanced fertilizer during the spring and switch to a high-phosphorus fertilizer with a ratio similar to 10-30-20 around June. After the blooms die back, trim the stalks to 6 inches in height and apply a layer of mulch to help the plant overwinter.
