Editor's Note

These deep maroon hollyhocks offer a sophisticated, moody element to any cottage or gothic-inspired garden. Their towering vertical growth makes them ideal for back-of-border placement or framing a rustic stone wall. For maximum visual impact, pair them with silver-leaved plants or bright white blooms to accentuate their dark, satiny texture and dramatic contrast.
