The Single Mixed Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is admired for its vibrant, towering spikes of flowers that come in a delightful array of colors, including shades of pink, red, yellow, white, and even near-black. This biennial plant typically grows to impressive heights, making it a dramatic addition to the back of borders or as a striking feature against walls or fences where its large, colorful blooms can truly stand out.


Hollyhocks are not only visually appealing but also practical for gardeners looking to attract pollinators. They are particularly beloved by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making them an excellent choice for wildlife gardens. As a biennial, Hollyhocks produce foliage in the first year and spectacular flowers in the second, after which they self-seed prolifically. While they are relatively easy to grow, preferring full sun and well-drained soil, they can be susceptible to rust, so good air circulation and proper spacing are key to maintaining their health.

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.
