Hollyhock Ficifolia (Alcea ficifolia), commonly known as the Fig-Leaved Hollyhock or Antwerp Hollyhock, is an exceptional, long-lived heirloom perennial species natively prized for its robust health and striking architectural height. Rising 6–8 feet tall on sturdy, towering spires, it produces large, single, saucer-shaped blossoms in rich shades of yellow, copper, white, pink, and red. Unlike common hollyhocks, its distinct, deeply lobed fig-like foliage boasts superior natural resistance to hollyhock rust, making it a reliable choice for classic cottage gardens and sunny backdrops.
