Alcea rosea ‘Halo Candy’
Alcea rosea 'Halo Candy' has unique candy pink flowers with darker pink stripes that radiate from a purple-black eye.
Alcea rosea ‘Halo Candy’ is an update on an old garden classic. This hollyhock has unique candy pink flowers with darker pink stripes that radiate from a purple-black eye. Combine that with a bushy habit, strong perenniality, and superior rust resistance and you’ve got a winner. Easy to grow in a variety of soils including seasonally dry sites but hollyhocks really perform well in rich, loamy soil with good moisture.
