Alcea rosea

Paeony-like double pompon blooms arrayed along with the tall, elegant spires in shades of red, pink, yellow, and white. An old-time favorite dates back to the 1880s. Zones 3-8.


Sowing:                                                                                                                                                                                          Sow indoors for surest results, March-May, 1.5cm (½”) deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse, or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 21-28 days. Transplant individually, when large enough to handle, to 7.5cm (3″) pots. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out into well-drained soil, June-October, 60cm (2′) apart. Or, sow outdoors, May-July, in a seedbed, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 7.5cm (3″) apart, before planting out to flowering position in autumn. Flowers: June-August, the following year.
