Seeds, Yellow flowers, Perennial, Zones 3-9, Cottage Garden
One packet containing 100 Antwerp Fig Leaf (Alcea ficifolia) seeds. These seeds were collected fresh in the fall of 2024 and packaged for 2025.
The Antwerp Fig Leaf Hollyhock (Alcea ficifolia) features large, yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that measure 4 inches across and have five petals. These blooms occur in the second year, blooming from the bottom up during the summer and fall. Rich in nectar and pollen, the flowers attract various pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Additionally, they make excellent cut flowers. This plant serves as a host for caterpillars of the painted lady and tropical checkered skipper butterflies. It thrives in full sun, reaching heights of 6 to 8 feet and spreading about 24 inches. The Antwerp Fig Leaf Hollyhock prefers rich, moist, well-drained loam soil.
This species is more vigorous and is characterized by coarse, lobed fig leaf-like foliage. It consists of several upright stems that emerge from the base, giving the plant a bushy appearance.
The seed pods initially appear circular and light green, gradually transitioning to a tan color. Once the seed pods become papery, the seeds inside turn dark brown and are easy to remove.
Companion plants that work well with the Antwerp Fig Leaf Hollyhock include daisies, yarrow, coneflower, phlox, foxglove, delphinium, fountain grass, and peonies.
Hollyhocks symbolize abundance and the cycle of rebirth. Gifting someone a hollyhock bestows blessings of well-being and good fortune.
The seeds are tested for germination by the State of Wisconsin and packaged for 2025. Whittlesey Creek Wild Flower Farm is a licensed nursery grower and seed labeler in Ashland, Wisconsin, Bayfield County.
