Stockrose

• Die 'Schwarze Stockrose', Alcea rosea 'Nigra', ist eine bis zu 2 m hohe, alte Stockrosensorte mit einfachen, schwarzroten Blüten. Die Blütenblätter werden zum Färben von Speisen und Getränken verwendet. Die Blüte mit Kelch ergibt durch ihre Schleimstoffe einen bei Halsschmerzen, Heiserkeit, Gastritis und Durchfall hilfreichen Malventee , für den auch Wilde Malve, Mauretanische Malve, Wegmalve ("Kleine Käspappel") und Eibisch ("Große Käspappel") verwendet werden können.

Landscape Uses:Border, Container, Foundation, Specimen. Succeeds in most soils. Poor soils should be enriched with organic matter. Prefers a heavy rich soil and a sheltered sunny position. Plants are hardy to about -15°c. A very ornamental plant, it is usually grown as a biennial due to its susceptibility to the fungal disease 'rust'. There are many named varieties. Young plants, and also the young growth in spring, are very attractive to slugs[K]. Special Features:Attracts birds, Attracts butterflies, Suitable for cut flowers, Attractive flowers or blooms. The plant is heat tolerant in zones 10 through 3. (Plant Hardiness Zones show how well plants withstand cold winter temperatures. Plant Heat Zones show when plants would start suffering from the heat. The Plant Heat Zone map is based on the number of "heat days" experienced in a given area where the temperature climbs to over 86 degrees F (30°C). At this temperature, many plants begin to suffer physiological damage. Heat Zones range from 1 (no heat days) to 12 (210 or more heat days). For example Heat Zone. 11-1 indicates that the plant is heat tolerant in zones 11 through 1.) For polyculture design as well as the above-ground architecture (form - tree, shrub etc. and size shown above) information on the habit and root pattern is also useful and given here if available. The plant growth habit is a clumper with limited spread [1-2].

Edible Parts: Flowers Leaves Oil Root Stem Edible Uses: Oil Tea Young leaves - raw or cooked. A mild flavour, but the texture leaves something to be desired[K]. They have been used as a pot-herb, though they are not particularly palatable. They can also be chopped up finely and added to salads[K]. Inner portion of young stems - raw. Flower petals and flower buds - raw. Added to salads. A nutritious starch is obtained from the root. A refreshing tea is made from the flower petals.

Compost Dye Litmus Oil Paper A fibre obtained from the stems is used in papermaking. The fibres are about 1.9mm long. The stems are harvested in late summer, the leaves are removed and the stems are steamed until the fibres can be removed. The fibres are cooked with lye for 2 hours and then ball milled for 3 hours or pounded with mallets. The paper is light tan in colour. The flowers are an alternative ingredient of 'Quick Return' herbal compost activator. This is a dried and powdered mixture of several herbs that can be added to a compost heap in order to speed up bacterial activity and thus shorten the time needed to make the compost[K]. The seed contains 12% of a drying oil. The red anthocyanin constituent of the flowers is used as a litmus. A brown dye is obtained from the petals.
