Hollyhock ‘Blacknight’

Alcea ‘Blacknight’ is a striking hollyhock that thrives in full to part sun, producing towering spikes of deep black-purple single blooms that create dramatic vertical accents in cottage and pollinator gardens. This tall perennial blooms throughout summer, attracting hummingbirds and bees while adding old-fashioned charm to borders and fence lines. Gardeners in Yarmouth value its impressive height and unique dark coloration that stands out against lighter-colored plantings. Provide well-drained soil and consider staking in windy locations to support the tall flower stalks laden with richly colored blossoms.
