Alcea, commonly called Hollyhock, are native to Asia and Europe but thrive undmandingly in full sun in the harsh Chihuahuan desert conditions, happily reseeding themselves if allowed. This seed is harvest on the Garden of Earthly Delights in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and is probably going to produce dusty pink or deep crimson red flower. The plants are open pollinated so other colours are possible. Seeds are packaged in 2inch by three inch manilla seed packets individually hand printed with a unique design carved for this purpose.
