(Alcea Rosea Annua ‘Spring Lemon’)
A stunning dwarf form of this classic garden plant that adds colour and definition to any perennial bed. It has been in cultivation for nearly 400 years.
The double yellow flowers appear in summer.
Plant in a sunny position in normal free draining garden soil. Choose a position that is out of the wind and plant in groups for dramatic effect and to enable plants to support each other.
Remove spent flower stems at ground level. Responds well to occasional deep watering during summer but does not like wet feet.
Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed will keep it looking its best.
Codes are a guide only and watering requirements will be affected by soil type, competition, mulching, wind and many other factors. Try to group plants with the same code in the one bed.
CAUTION: May be harmful if eaten.
