Please select all options.

A robust, herbaceous wildflower with a larger size and stature than Sidalcea virgata. This is an easy-to-grow perennial that takes nicely to average garden conditions. White to soft-pink hollyhock-like blossoms occur on tall flowering spires. Mature plants form substantial crowns and have multiple spires that are stately and quite showy in appearance. Can be cut back after flowering to encourage more blooms. A great resource for native pollinators and a wonderful nectar source for butterflies, including Fenders Blue and Taylor's Checkerspot. Considered drought tolerant once established.
