About The Watchman

This hollyhock variety features dramatic, tall flower stalks that appear almost black from afar, revealing a rich purplish-burgundy hue upon closer inspection. These striking towers attract pollinators and serve as an excellent dark backdrop for lighter-colored flowers. While generally drought-tolerant, it thrives best with consistent moisture, and its large, colorful petals are edible, perfect for garnishing, though the central disk can be bitter.
