Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Wow! The ultimate “Granny Hollyhock!” Super-doubly, fringed, bright pink & white bi-colored flowers are outrageous & 4-5” across. It has “fig” type leaves & acts perennial like the perennial fig-leaved hollyhock - Alcea ficifolia. It’s base branching (again like A. ficifolia) with 5-10 stems rising from the base & tops out at 5’ tall. Found in a garden in Costa Rica by Don Marinson. Reseeds!
