Hollyhock Flower Seeds Packet

Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) are tall, magnificent flowers renowned for their impressive height, vibrant colors, and vintage allure. These biennials or short-lived perennials can reach up to 8 feet tall, making them perfect for cottage gardens, borders, and backgrounds. Hollyhocks are beneficial for pollinators, drawing in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They flourish in sunny locations with well-drained soil, and although they are relatively low-maintenance, they are susceptible to rust disease. With proper care and upkeep, these flowers will bloom from mid-summer to early fall, creating a stunning and nostalgic display in the garden. Hollyhocks add a magnificent vertical focal point to any landscape. Although growing them from seed may require some patience, their exquisite blossoms and ability to attract pollinators make them well worth the effort.
