(Hollyhock) Alcea 'Fiesta Time' is a great new variety in the Hollyhock family. This stunning seed variety produces relatively short spikes of rose-pink, fringed, double flowers. The 3-foot height of 'Fiesta Time' makes this a great choice for courtyard gardens or container plantings. Hollyhocks should be treated as biennial or short-lived perennial plants.

Plant them in an area where they will get a minimum of six hours of sunlight every day. They may need staking if planted in a windy location. Rich, moist and well-drained soil is essential. Garden pests may include both caterpillars and Japanese beetles. Propagate by planting seeds.
