{"product_id":"alcea-ficifolia-9cm-pot","title":"Alcea ficifolia - 9cm Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlcea ficifolia, the Antwerp or fig-leaved hollyhock, is a tall and vigorous plant that produces long, upright spires of large, open, single funnel-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, copper, pink, red and white. Flowering from summer into early autumn, the blooms open in succession up the stems above distinctive lobed, fig-like leaves, creating a classic cottage-garden display and a striking vertical accent against walls, fences and at the back of borders. The open flowers are excellent for bees and other pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Alcea ficifolia prefers a warm, sheltered position and may need staking in exposed sites. It is generally more vigorous and less troubled by rust than the common hollyhock, although it is a short-lived perennial that often behaves as a biennial and will happily self-seed to provide new plants. Cut back the old flowering stems once flowering has finished to keep plants tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincspplants","offers":[{"title":"9cm Potted","offer_id":55027820233051,"sku":"Alcea-Fici-9CMPOT","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/1590\/9979\/files\/Alceaficifolia01.jpg?v=1794477478","url":"https:\/\/www.lincsplants.com\/products\/alcea-ficifolia-9cm-pot","provider":"Lincspplants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
