Chater’s Golden Yellow Hollyhock is a classic cottage garden favorite, sending up magnificent tall spikes of fully double, buttery yellow blooms that can reach 5 to 9 feet high in summer. The oversized, pompon-like flowers have a ruffled, almost peony-like quality that gives them an elegant, old-fashioned charm unmatched by single-flowered varieties. Plant at the back of a sunny border or against a wall or fence where the towering spikes make a genuine statement. Deer resistant and beloved by hummingbirds and butterflies, it self-sows freely to ensure the display continues year after year. A short-lived perennial that typically flowers in its second year, it’s well worth the patience.
