Springfield Celebrities Lemon Hollyhock — Cottage-Garden Classic (Alcea rosea 'Springfield Celebrities' Lemon) · 2 Gal

Some plants whisper. Hollyhocks announce. 'Springfield Celebrities' Lemon sends up sturdy spires stacked with ruffled, double lemon-cream blooms — the flower people picture when they say "grandma's garden," now standing in a pot waiting for your fence line.

Watch it for five minutes in the morning and you'll see why the bees love it: they climb all the way inside the ruffles and stay a while. Plant it against a fence, a mailbox, or the sunny side of the house — anywhere it can be seen from the street.

Easy rule for our Northern Virginia gardens: full sun and decent drainage. It blooms its first year, and it self-sows politely — so the patch you plant this summer tends to invite friends for next.

The basics

• ☀️ Full sun · average, well-drained soil
• 📏 Upright flowering spires — give it a spot with a backdrop
• 🌼 Ruffled, double lemon-cream blooms through summer
• 🐝 Bee favorite — they climb right inside the flowers
• 🌱 Blooms first year · self-sows gently for future seasons
