Alcea taurica |
Prev |
Other names: A. rugosa; it seems rather different things are labeled with these names. My 1st-year plants are tall (8 ft or more); they do not appear to be much more rust resistant than common hollyhocks, as commonly claimed. Perennial, becoming multi-stemmed and much shorter. Plant DB#: 75188 |
|

|
 |
Allium nigrum |
