Part of the bicolored "Halo" series of hollyhocks, Alcea rosea "Halo Apricot" bears large pink to apricot single flowers with a contrasting dark pink center. Flowering in its first year, it is easy to grow from flower seeds and perfect for planting in groups at the back of a sunny border. For best results, grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Cut down Alcea rosea "Halo Apricot" after flowering to encourage fresh basal growth.
Hollyhocks have an impressive effect when planted in a mass planting. Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees are attracted to the flowers and deer tend to stay away. It has no real change in fall color and it will die back for the winter.
