Yellow Fig-Leaved Holleyhock

This vigorous biennial or short-lived perennial is prized for its architectural height, reaching up to seven feet. It features a basal rosette of large, rough-textured, heart-shaped leaves with deep lobes. In late spring, sturdy unbranched spires emerge, covered in single, pale yellow flowers that attract hummingbirds and bees. Highly resistant to rust, it thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it an ideal choice for cottage gardens, back borders, or natural screens.
