Alcea rugosa
Hollyhock
This tall beauty will add height to your garden, as a backdrop for a perennial border or a decorative accent in front of a fence. The large flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds. This yellow hollyhock will self-sew and increase from year to year. Because of its height, it may need staking, especially if planted in an exposed area.
