Hollyhock ‘Creme De Cassis’

Hollyhocks are a cottage garden essential, bringing height and stature to the back of perennial borders. Hollyhock ‘Crème de Cassis’ is particularly mouth-watering with veined flowers in juicy blackcurrant that fade to paler berry shades around the edges. Each vertical stem bears a fascinating mix of double, semi double and single blooms. Hollyhocks make handsome cut flowers for summer bouquets. The nectar rich blooms are also a magnet for butterflies. Height: 200cm (79″). Spread: 60cm (24″).

Culinary note: try crystallising the flowers for a tasty cake decoration, or use them to make a delicately flavoured syrup to use with puddings. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
