Black Beauty Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) Seeds
Seeds, Old Fashioned Heirloom Flower, Biennial Flower
One packet containing 80 Black Beauty Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) seeds hand-collected fresh in the fall of 2024 and packaged for 2025.
Large, satiny maroon-black saucer-shaped flowers bloom in the second year, developing from the bottom of the stem upward. Their stunning, bold color lasts for many months throughout the summer and fall.
Black Beauty Hollyhock flowers have a sweet scent and are rich in nectar and pollen, making them an excellent food source for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They are short-lived perennials that readily reseed themselves.
Typically, Black Beauty Hollyhock grows to a height of 5 to 7 feet and thrives in full sun. While it prefers rich, well-drained soil, this plant is generally not particular about soil type. In the first year, it produces a rosette of foliage, and in the second year, it develops a tall stalk, blooms, and reseeds.
Black Beauty Hollyhock is simple to grow from seed.
The seeds are tested for germination by the State of Wisconsin and packaged for 2025. Whittlesey Creek Wildflower Farm is a licensed nursery grower and seed labeler in Ashland, Wisconsin, Bayfield County.
