Hollyhock (1/4 lb)

Hollyhock is a cherished heirloom flower known for its towering height, bold colors, and old-fashioned charm. These tall garden flowers bring vertical interest and nostalgic beauty to cottage-style landscapes, growing up to eight feet tall with blooms that rise dramatically along sturdy stalks. Suited to back borders, fences, or walls, hollyhocks attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to the garden. The plants typically bloom in their second year but often reseed themselves, allowing for year-after-year displays with minimal effort. Whether you're designing a new flower bed or enhancing an established space, hollyhock seeds offer an easy, classic way to create lush, colorful garden layers.

Hollyhock – Alcea rosea
Biennial Heirloom. This traditional cottage-garden flower produces stately flower spikes with large, showy blooms in a variety of colors.

Plants may bloom in their first year if started early indoors and will often self-sow to return annually with little maintenance.
