hollyhocks
Tall garden spires
Hollyhocks are tall flowering plants with large, showy blooms that grow along a single stalk, often reaching six feet or higher.
Native to Asia, they're garden staples prized for their dramatic vertical presence and old-fashioned charm: Hollyhocks lined the back fence.
The flowers come in pink, red, white, yellow, and deep purple, blooming from bottom to top through summer.
