Double Majorette Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is celebrated for its vibrant, mixed-colored blooms that add a dramatic flair to any garden setting. This biennial flowering plant produces a spectacular display of ruffled, double-petaled flowers in an array of colors including pink, white, yellow, and red, creating a cottage garden charm or a bold statement in borders. Typically, these hollyhocks grow tall, making them excellent for creating privacy screens, as backdrops for other plants, or simply as striking focal points within the landscape.


Growing Double Majorette Hollyhocks is relatively straightforward, making them a favorite among gardeners of all skill levels. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, though they are quite forgiving of less than ideal conditions, demonstrating some drought tolerance once established. As a biennial, they spend their first year growing foliage and the second year blooming, after which they reseed themselves for future seasons. These plants are not only visually appealing but also beneficial for pollinators; they attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, contributing to biodiversity and providing a valuable nectar source. This attribute, combined with their robust growth habit, makes Double Majorette Hollyhock an excellent choice for wildlife gardens or any space aiming to support local ecology.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP

Some growers soak the seed in warm water for a few hours prior to sowing. This isn’t required but can lead to better germination. If started indoors, use biodegradable CowPots, sowing 1 seed per pot, 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Transplant or direct sow when temperatures are at least 65°F. Biennials will grow a strong root system in their first year, later wilting on the surface with frost, only to return and flower in its second season.
