Compact, scarlet blooms, resting on tall, linear stalks Flowering throughout the summer months, this Alcea variety is certainly reminiscent of a cottage garden theme with its red, compact roses which gather around their tall, linear stalks . These roses grow abundantly, with their bold red shade concealing almost the entire stalk! Green leaves, adorned by their undulated margins, rest between these blooms, which helps break up their colour; resulting in a harmony of scarlet and soft emerald.

Packaging Sustainability is one of our priorities, and as such, our perennials and alpines are delivered in environmentally friendly packaging. Aside from being recyclable, they will keep them nice and secure on their journey. Please see our below guidance on your perennial or alpine's care: Watering: During your perennial or alpine's first growing season, you should provide them with frequent waterings. Try to also avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of disease. Deadheading: To promote a long flowering period, you should deadhead any flowers that appear spent. Simply rescind each flower at their base, taking care to not cut other parts of the plant. Dividing: To really flourish, your perennials can be divided every three to four years. They can be divided when they begin to show less flowers, or appear less healthy in the middle. Make sure to only do so when they aren't currently flowering. Click Here To Read More Image Gallery
