Fig-Leaved Mixed Hollyhock – Alcea ficifolia
If you love hollyhocks and are looking for something a little different, we present the Fig-Leaved Hollyhock, a hardy perennial relative of the classic Alcea rosea. Unlike the familiar common hollyhock, Alcea ficifolia bears deeply lobed, fig-like foliage that gives the plant a distinctive texture and sets it apart in the border. Its strong, upright stalks rise 5–7 feet tall and are covered with large, single blooms in a cheerful mix of yellow, rose, pink, red, and white.
Whereas Alcea rosea often behaves as a biennial, the fig-leaved hollyhock is a true perennial, reliably returning year after year when grown in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy and less prone to rust than its cousin, this variety is especially well-suited to cottage gardens, back borders, and naturalized plantings. A pollinator favorite, it draws in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its abundant blossoms.
Height: 5–7 feet
Bloom Time: Summer through early fall
Life Cycle: Perennial (more reliably perennial than A. rosea)
Light: Full sun
Uses: Borders, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings
A long-lived, resilient hollyhock with uniquely sculpted leaves and radiant mixed blooms, Fig-Leaved Hollyhock offers the grace of a cottage classic with the staying power of a true perennial.
