Hollyhock mixed color - 10 seeds

10 x Hollyhock mixed color seeds

Hollyhocks are classic cottage garden plants, known for their tall, spire-like growth and showy, cup-shaped flowers. Available in a wide range of colors, from deep reds to pastel pinks and yellows, these biennial or short-lived perennials make a stunning backdrop in garden borders.

Unique Qualities:

• Towering Height: Hollyhocks can grow up to 2 meters tall, making them perfect for adding vertical interest and creating a dramatic garden display.
• Long Blooming Season: The flowers bloom from early summer to late fall, providing long-lasting color in your garden.
• Cottage Garden Favorite: Hollyhocks have been a staple of traditional cottage gardens, adding a charming, old-world appeal.
• Pollinator-Friendly: The large, open blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making them excellent for pollinator gardens.

Growing Season: Sow seeds directly outdoors in late spring or early summer after the last frost. Hollyhocks prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants 30-60 cm apart for optimal growth.

Harvesting Tip: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding, unless you wish for them to naturalize in your garden.

Garden Use: Hollyhocks are ideal for planting at the back of borders, along fences, or against walls. Their tall stature and colorful flowers make them a beautiful backdrop in cottage gardens or mixed flower beds.
