Boasting elegant spikes of silky, mauve-pink flowers, Elsie Heugh adds a touch of cottage garden charm without the domineering height of its namesake. This clump-forming perennial, with its 2" wide blooms atop wiry stems, is a butterfly magnet. Perfect for mixed borders or alongside walkways, it pairs beautifully with daisies and other cottage favourites. Unlike true hollyhocks, this sidalcea resists rust. Its robustness earned it the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2002.
