Rosea Spotlight Mars Magic Hollyhock
Alcea rosea ‘Spotlight Mars Magic’
Add bold color and timeless charm to your garden with the Rosea Spotlight Mars Magic Hollyhock—a standout variety from the renowned Spotlight Series. This hollyhock delivers tall, elegant spikes of vibrant, true red single blooms that tower above the garden from mid to late summer, making a dramatic statement in borders, cottage gardens, or along fences and walls.
Unlike many traditional hollyhocks, the Mars Magic is a more robust, upright grower with improved resistance to rust and disease. Its deep green, lobed foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the vivid blossoms, which also make excellent cut flowers. The plant's vertical form and long bloom time make it ideal for adding height, structure, and color to sunny garden spaces.
Whether planted as a stunning solo accent or grouped in drifts, Mars Magic offers reliable performance, pollinator appeal, and classic garden beauty.
Bring vibrant vertical drama and cottage garden charm to your landscape with the unforgettable Rosea Spotlight Mars Magic Hollyhock.
