Hollyhocks are known for their tall, slender spikes that can reach heights of 6 to 8 feet or more. The plant produces large, showy, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom along the length of the stems, typically in midsummer. The flowers come in a wide variety of colors, including shades of pink, red, white, yellow, purple, and even nearly black. Some varieties have single-petaled flowers, while others have double-petaled blooms that resemble carnations.
