    Alcea rosea Nigra

    Botanical Nomenclature: Alcea rosea Nigra
    Common Name: Alcea, Atléia, Royal Malva, Malvaisco, Hollyhock
    Family: Malvaceae
    Hollyhocks have been grown in gardens for centuries, their tall spikes of satiny, crepe-textured flowers making a fine display in mid-summer. Best at the back of a sunny border, with something in front to hide their bare lower stems. This is an unusual historical selection, with single flowers of maroon-black. Plants usually act as short-lived perennials, but will re-seed themselves for many years. Rust is often a problem, particularly in humid summer regions. Attractive to both butterflies and hummingbirds.
