Native to East Asia, Hibiscus syriacus is a species of flowering plant, which is a vigorous, upright, case-shaped, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub. Its showy, 5-petaled flowers appear from early summer to autumn, comparatively long period. The flower comes in such colors as pink, purple and white, each flower having a prominent and showy center staminal column. Its common names include Rose of Sharon, shrub althea, rose mallow and St. Joseph’s rod.

Hollyhock is a plant species from family (Malvaceae). Many varieties are used as ornamental plants. The flowering time ranges from February to October, depending on the location. It is also rarely cultivated as a medicinal and dyeing plant. Only black-red varieties are used for the extraction of dyes, as their petals contain anthocyanin (malvidin) in large quantities. In the past it was used to dye wine, liqueur, desserts, food and textiles, but today it is no longer of any significance. The plant can be used to dye violet-blue to grey. Because of the tannins and mucilages contained in ordinary hollyhock, it is found in numerous cough tea mixtures.
