Wild hollyhock
Iliamna rivularis
Wild hollyhock is a striking native perennial producing tall spikes of pale pink to lavender flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators throughout summer. It prefers moist, well-drained soil along stream banks or in woodland garden settings with partial shade, and benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Cut back spent flower stalks after blooming to encourage a tidy appearance and potential reblooming.
