Alcea ficifolia Yellow Seeds

Alcea ficifolia Yellow

This is also known as Antwerp or Fig-leaved Hollyhock

This plant, which has deeply lobed fig-like leaves, produces more branching stems than the common hollyhock and is relatively rust resistant, so if you’ve failed with the normal one give this a try.

Cover with compost or grit 5mm deep. Keep moist in a cool, covered light spot outside. Grow on seedlings in 3 inch pots and plant out in good garden soil.
