Alcea rosea 'Chater's Red' - 2026

Alcea rosea 'Chater's Red' is a hardy biennial or short-lived perennial celebrated for its tall spikes of deep red, double flowers that bloom from mid to late summer. The upright growth and vibrant blooms create a striking vertical feature in borders, cottage gardens, or against walls and fences. Its flowers attract bees and other pollinators, adding both colour and ecological value.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, 'Chater's Red' is relatively low-maintenance and may benefit from staking in windy positions. The combination of architectural height, long-lasting blooms, and pollinator-friendly flowers makes it a visually appealing and versatile addition to perennial and mixed borders.
