Hollyhock (Alcea Rosea) - Double Apricot
Big, fluffy, and heart-meltingly pretty, Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) ‘Double Apricot’ is a cottage garden dream with densely stacked double pom-pom blooms in peachy apricot. The 4–5" flowers wrap all around tall stalks for maximum impact, creating a warm, romantic display near garden gates, low fences, sunny borders, and the middle or back of flower beds.
This double hollyhock can reach 6–8' tall with branching stems, bringing classic vertical drama to cottage gardens, cutting gardens, pollinator plantings, and old-fashioned mixed borders. Biennial by nature, it may bloom the first season when planted in spring in mild temperate climates; otherwise, it overwinters and flowers the following season. The lush apricot color pairs beautifully with blue ceanothus, lavender, salvias, roses, and soft grasses.
Plant Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) ‘Double Apricot’ in full sun with rich, well-drained soil for the most impressive show. Give it room, good air circulation, and a place to tower. Explore more cottage garden classics in our Hollyhock - Alcea rosea collection.
