Striking Flower Form and Height: Chater’s Double Red Hollyhock adds instant drama to the summer garden. Known for its upright, columnar shape, this old-fashioned favorite can reach up to 6–8 feet tall when mature. The tall stalks are packed with fully double, ruffled red blooms from mid to late summer, bringing a vertical burst of rich color that draws the eye. It’s especially impactful planted in groups, lining a fence or along a sunny wall where the sturdy stems can be supported and appreciated.

Nostalgic Appeal with Long-Lasting Blooms: Ideal for gardeners who appreciate classic perennials, this hollyhock has strong ties to vintage cottage-style design. Its vibrant red petals are layered in a rounded form that echoes the look of peonies or roses, but with a unique height that adds a different dimension to your planting scheme. The flowering spikes create a continuous display for several weeks, and attract bees and butterflies while complementing other mid-summer bloomers.

Adaptable and Easy to Grow: While Chater’s Double Red Hollyhock thrives in rich, well-drained soil and full sun, it also handles less-than-perfect garden conditions with surprising ease. This makes it a smart pick for gardeners seeking reliable, large-scale color with minimal input. As a short-lived perennial or biennial, it often reseeds naturally, extending its presence in the garden year after year.
