Black Hollyhock was described as early as 1629 by John Parkinson, as being "of a darke red like black blood," an apt description for the large single flowers that grace this plant in June and July. The Boston nurseryman, John B. Russe, offered seeds of "Black antwerp hollyhock: Althea nigra" in a forty-two-page catalogue published in 1827. Although classed as a biennial, Hollyhock often lives for several years, like a perennial. Sow seeds in summer. The plants will form large rosettes of round, hairy leaves by autumn, and will bloom the following summer with stalks six to eight feet high. Hollyhocks thrive in full sun and in soils that are not too rich or wet. USDA Zones 3-8. Approximately 15-20 seeds per pack.
