Alcea (Ál-ce-a), commonly known as hollyhocks, is a genus of about 60 species of flowering plants in the mallow family Malvaceae. They are native to Asia and Europe.
The botanical name, Alcea originated from the plant species use in medicine. It comes from Altheo which means to heal or to cure. The flowers are edible and the coloured petals are great for jazzing up salads. Actually the whole plant is edible, it’s not overly tasty though. Hollyhock represent ambition, fertility and fruitfulness. The ambition association is mainly due to the fact that hollyhocks can survive a multitude of weather conditions and continue to bloom.
Hollyhocks are annual, biennial, or perennial plants usually taking an erect, unbranched form. The herbage usually has a coating of star-shaped hairs. The leaf blades are often lobed or toothed, and are borne on long petioles. The flowers may be solitary or arranged in fascicles or racemes. The notched petals are usually over 3 centimeters wide and may be pink, white, purple, or yellow. The fruit is a schizocarp, a dry disc divided into over 15 sections that contain seeds.
Spring Celebrities® Series of Hollyhocks is a brand-new dwarf (24-36") , annual selection of one of the most typical cottage garden plants, popularised in the 19th Century England and admired and enjoyed ever since.
