Add bold color to borders and containers with Alcea rosea annua 'Spring Celebrities Purple' (Hollyhock 'Spring Celebrities Purple'), a compact hollyhock selected for sturdy stems and abundant purple blooms. You will enjoy its semi-double to double flowers through summer, with a tidy, dwarf habit that fits smaller spaces better than traditional towering hollyhocks.

Give your plant a spot in full sun for the strongest growth and best flowering. Plant in average, well-drained soil and keep it evenly moist while it establishes; once growing, water deeply when the top of the soil begins to dry. Space plants to allow good air movement, which helps reduce leaf problems in humid weather.

At maturity, expect about 24-36 inches of height with a spread around 12-18 inches. This compact habit makes it easy to tuck into the middle of a mixed border or use as a statement plant in a patio pot. If flower stalks get heavy, a discreet stake can keep stems upright without changing the natural look.

Remove faded blooms to keep the plant looking neat and to encourage continued flowering. In many gardens it behaves as a short-lived perennial or reseeds, so let a few blooms mature if you would like new plants in following seasons.
