× Alcalthaea suffrutescens 'Parkrondell'

shrubby hollyhock (syn. Alcea)

Product Image
'Parkrondell' is a cross between a hollyhock and mallow, with soft-pink, cup-shaped blooms with fine veins and curled and crumpled inner petals. The floral display lasts from midsummer until the frosts and will hold their form and colour well in a vase.

How to care for Alcalthaea suffrutescens Parkrondell:

When planting 'Parkrondell' add some well-rotted compost and mycorrhizal fungi into the planting hole. Water well during dry spells. In autumn, trim the stems back to within 50-60cm from the ground, and as new growth breaks in spring, cut it back harder if desired. Cutting it back a little later in the year will help keep it more compact. Protect against excessively wet weather in winter.
