Hollyhock (1/4 lb)
Towering blooms for timeless charm.
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. Ideal for back borders, fences, or walls, hollyhocks are a favorite among pollinators like 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 favorite produces stately flower spikes with large, showy blooms in a variety of colors. Hollyhocks are ideal for attracting pollinators and make a stunning backdrop in perennial beds and borders. Plants may bloom in their first year if started early indoors and will often self-sow to return annually with little maintenance.
