Product Description

Black Nigra Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) ; Dramatic Black Blooms on 6-Foot Spikes! 4 inches across, held wide open to reveal their creamy center, these blooms are stunningly lovely and distinctive! These shiny black flowers, 4 inches across and sporting a creamy center plus a hint of burgundy toward the base, are a distinctive and never-to-be-forgotten addition to the sunny garden! They arise on stately 6-foot stalks, which are ideal beside entryways and gateposts, as well as in front of light-colored walls and fences (where the deep, rich color shows to best advantage). Keep the spent flowers picked and these vigorous plants may just repeat their show in fall! Easy to grow in full sun and almost any well-drained soil. Growth is even faster with a top-dressing of cow manure!

Customer Reviews

Did not recieve the plant as described
I purchased a large order to make shipping worth it but it was mainly for these black hollyhocks which I have been wanting for a very long time. I received them and they were healthy and once in the ground they flowered nicely. The only problem is that they were not black, not even close as they were white and purple. After many e-mails and over a month with no response regarding the issue I finally did get a response. They asked that I return the plants at my expense. These were no longer seedling but large plants and it would have been too costly to have shipped them (I could have bought new plants cheaper). Considering the large order I had placed you would think customer service on this issue that was there mistake would have been handled far better. I won't purchase again.
