• Plant now to enjoy elegant rosy-pink, hibiscus-like flowers from July to September, with peak flowering generally occurring during August.

Althaea cannabina, commonly known as Cannabis-leaved Hollyhock, is a tall, graceful perennial producing masses of rosy-pink, saucer-shaped flowers on slender, branching stems above attractive, finely divided foliage. Its airy habit makes it an excellent choice for the middle or back of borders, prairie-style planting, and cottage gardens.

Elegant yet robust, this long-lived perennial brings height, movement, and a naturalistic feel to the garden without becoming overpowering. Highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, it is easy to grow, tolerant of dry conditions once established, and often flowers continuously for many weeks.
