DESCRIÇÃO

Hollyhock Chater's Double Mix Alcea Rosea é uma planta bienal resistente. As sementes de Hollyhock Chater's Double Mix podem ser semeadas diretamente ao ar livre, em interior ou em vasos numa estufa fria. A variedade Hollyhock Chater's Double Mix produz flores totalmente duplas em tons de escarlate, rosa, branco, roxo, beringela e amarelo, com 7-12 cm de diâmetro, densamente agrupadas nos robustos espigões florais. As flores do Hollyhock crescem em espigões rígidos e altos que normalmente atingem 1,5-2 m de altura, e a folhagem apresenta folhas inferiores grandes, em forma de coração e ásperas, que se tornam progressivamente menores em direção ao topo do espigão. Alcea Rosea ramifica-se na base e floresce de maio a outubro, atraindo beija-flores e borboletas.

Hollyhock Chater's Double Mix é um favorito antigo para jardins de campo, flores silvestres, jardins de vida selvagem e canteiros de flores. As flores totalmente duplas do Hollyhock são perfeitas para o fundo de bordaduras e ao longo de cercas e muros. As sementes de Alcea Rosea podem ser plantadas em agosto ou setembro para florescer no ano seguinte, e o Hollyhock estabelecido cresce em solo médio, com humidade média, bem drenado e a pleno sol, tolerando uma ampla variedade de condições do solo e alguma sombra leve. Se cultivado a partir de sementes, embora de vida curta, os Hollyhocks facilmente se auto-semeiam, podendo formar colónias que persistem por anos como se fossem perenes.

Sow February to March or September to October. Sow seeds onto the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 15-20C until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Alternatively, sow in late summer in a cool greenhouse and then overwinter plants in cool, well lit conditions. Plant out the following spring. This method produces larger plants and is recommended if the soil is heavy or badly drained.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm pots. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 45cm apart.

Rust remedies
Hollyhocks are archetypal cottage garden plants (you often see them growing beautifully in churchyards). The cleaner, sulphur-free air that we all now enjoy, however, means that fungus on roses and hollyhocks is more common. Both plants need tinkering to be at their best.

Rust fungus forms little pustules on the underside of hollyhock basal leaves and often spreads from there up the stem. If you want to grow your hollyhocks right by a path, they need to look vigorous and healthy. The only way to guarantee this is to use fungicides. If Bordeaux mixture, a traditional copper sulphate-derived remedy, is not enough to hold rust at bay, you may need to use stronger fungicides.

If this all feels far too much like chemical warfare, ignore any rust problems and hide the foliage of your hollyhocks by putting them nearer the back of the border.

Make more plants
Hollyhocks self-sow, so once you have introduced them they should spring up of their own volition, but they will creep to the sunny, open front of the bed. Watch out for this and dig some up and put them further back out of the limelight to get a balanced sweep. Don't transfer them directly, though – they need a short spell of TLC.

Dig up self-sown seedlings and pot them into a 7cm pot. Once the roots have filled it, move them on into a slim, deep pot to accommodate the tap root.
