Add fun, flamboyant charm to your containers and small gardening spaces with Fiesta Time Dwarf Hollyhock, Alcea. Colorful displays of huge cerise pink fringed blossoms appear in summer. Its shorter height makes it ideal for smaller gardens and containers. Plants grow 3′ tall and 2′ wide.

Plant it in your garden beds, cottage gardens, pollinator, butterfly, and cutting gardens. It makes spectacular specimens either in the garden, alone in pots, or in pots with other plants. Although not long-lived and mostly grown as an annual, it reseeds delightfully for years of plants.

Plant in full sun, at least 6 hours a day. Plants will benefit from being planted with compost or organic matter and fertilizer. Good soakings are required for prolific blooming. A squirt of liquid fertilizer occasionally will give you more flowers. If slow-release fertilizer was already applied, liquid fertilizer at 1/2 strength.
