Description
The Majorette Mix Hollyhock is a star in my eyes! I've always been a huge fan of regular tall Hollyhocks, but the Majorettes can go places the others can't go. Reaching a height of only 30" (versus 7 feet tall) they are much more versatile & can fit into smaller gardens as a bedding plant, be used in borders, & can even be grown in containers.
The huge 3 1/2" double flowers are extremely showy, covering the stalks top to bottom with tons of blooms in mid summer. The buds open from the bottom & work their way up to give you a nice long bloom time. Cut some to enjoy indoors, or leave them outside to share with the bees, butterflies, & HUMMINGBIRDS that will be equally delighted with their blossoms.
While this Hollyhock is technically a biennial, they are able to bloom in the first year from seed if they are started early enough, so what are you waiting for? Lol. Hollyhocks are easy to grow from seed, grow quickly, and require basically no attention once they have taken off. In moderate climates like we enjoy here in Ohio Hollyhocks grow best in full sun, but in more temperate climates can benefit from some partial shade.
