Add old-fashioned charm to your garden with Hollyhock 'Spring Celebrities Carmine-Rose' (Alcea rosea annua 'Spring Celebrities Carmine-Rose'). This compact, first-year flowering hollyhock produces showy, double to semi-double carmine-rose blooms on sturdy spikes, giving you classic cottage-garden style without the towering height of traditional hollyhocks.

Place it where it will receive full sun to part shade, and provide good air circulation to help reduce foliar issues. Plant in average, well-drained soil and water to establish; then keep moisture consistent during hot, dry periods. Avoid constantly wet sites, especially in cooler weather.

At maturity, expect roughly 24-36 inches in height with a 12-18 inch spread, making it easy to fit into borders, mixed beds, and large containers. Deadhead spent flowers to keep the planting looking fresh, and allow some blooms to set seed if you want volunteer seedlings for future seasons.

For best performance, feed lightly in spring, mulch to moderate soil moisture, and stake only if your site is windy. In cold-winter areas, growth dies back at season end; clean up spent stems and leaves to start the next season with a tidy planting.
