Beautiful 3-inch flowers in a deep purplish-burgundy grow on the sturdy stems of the Spring Celebrities Crimson Hollyhock. This classic beauty, also known as Alcea rosea annua, has wavy petals that provide vibrant color and texture to a landscape space. The flowers bloom in late spring and will continue to put on a show until midsummer. Tall stalks reach 3-feet tall and boast bright green foliage.  

This perennial is a mid-size plant that will do well in beds, borders, or mass plantings. Feature this stunner in the middle or front of a bed, so the blooms are on full display. The flowers can also be cut for display in a vase. Hollyhock is an adaptable plant that is a common sight in more traditional gardens. Grow this beauty as a perennial in USDA zones 6 through 8.

Spring Celebrities Crimson Hollyhock Care

Plant this flowering plant in full sun to partial shade. Find a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade when grown in warm climates. Loamy, well-draining soil is ideal. Hollyhock needs water when the top few inches of soil feel dry. 

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.

Spring Celebrities Crimson Hollyhock Spacing

The Crimson Hollyhock is an upright perennial that will reach 24 to 36 inches tall. This beauty will spread 12 to 18 inches. Space plants 8 to 12 inches to create a lush planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
