Chater's Violet Double-Flowered Hollyhock

If you're looking for a showstopping perennial in the perfect shade of violet to round out your summer garden designs, consider Chater's Violet Double-Flowered Hollyhock. Luxuriant, 3-5" fully double blooms emerge from June to August, adding texture, height and color to full-sun sites in back borders, mixed beds and cut-flower arrangements. Not only is this perennial beautiful, it's also drought tolerant, easy to grow and quick to bloom.
