These nearly black blooms, with their subtle pale yellow throats, beckon like secret portals to a twilight world, stirring whispers of mystery and elegance in the garden air.

Standing statuesque at 4 to 6 feet or taller, these dark maroon marvels create vertical drama and enchant pollinators—bees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds—that flit through the garden like fairy familiars. Their long summer-to-frost bloom season gifts your space with constant whispers of magic and beauty.

🍃 Garden Witch’s Delight
Not just a feast for the eyes, these hollyhock petals are edible treasures, perfect for mystical salads or potions, and have long been prized for their use in natural dyeing—imparting rich, mysterious hues that echo their shadowy petals.

🌞 How to Summon Your Nigra Hollyhock
Scatter the seeds under the open sky in early spring or let the earth cradle them through fall. They adore full sun and well-drained soil, standing tall with a bit of staking and gentle protection from the wind’s playful nudges. These hearty perennials are generous self-seeders, often gifting gardeners with new sprouts year after year—a gift from the garden’s secret keepers.

Invite the Nigra Hollyhock to your garden, and watch as it weaves a spell of dark beauty, height, and timeless charm—perfect for those who love a touch of night’s magic in their blooming sanctuaries. 🌙✨
