Alcea rosea
An old-time flower that once lined fence rows and ditches of farmsteads across America. Country Fence Row Heirloom Hollyhocks produce long spikes of large 4 to 5-inch white, pink and burgundy flowers with delicately scalloped edges. Plants grow 5 to 8-feet-tall and bloom over a long period of time. Hollyhocks are biennials and therefore will not flower until the second year. For annual displays of blooms, sow seed two consecutive years. Although plants are short-lived, they self-seed readily and may establish showy colonies that persist in the landscape for years. A packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

We care about what we put in your hands and in the soil. That’s why our seeds are never treated with neonicotinoids or any other chemicals. Our varieties are all non-GMO and non-hybrid, so you can save seeds from your plants and grow them again next year.
Hollyhock prefers full sun and well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. It does best in a slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. It is drought tolerant but will need regular watering during dry spells. It also benefits from a layer of mulch to help retain moisture.
Sow seeds in full to part sun one week before last frost. Ample airflow is necessary to minimize disease. Once established, plants should be spaced at least 18" in all directions. Alternatively, start seeds indoors, harden off and set outdoors after danger of frost has passed.
Space plants at least 18" in all directions. After danger of frost has passed, dig a hole roughly the size of the root ball and lower the seedling in. Water the plant deeply after transplanting and keep well-watered until it is established.
Although generally easy to care for, Hollyhock is susceptible to powdery mildew, rust, and other fungal diseases. Be sure to give plants ample space to promote airflow and limit disease.
Hollyhocks can make excellent cut flowers provided the stem scars are prepped before arranging. They have long, sturdy stems and large, colorful blooms that last for several days in a vase. They also have a pleasant, sweet scent that adds to the beauty of any floral arrangement.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Hollyhocks can cross pollinate so it is important to isolate different varieties if saving seed. To harvest hollyhock seeds, wait until the seed pods turn brown and dry, then cut them off the plant and place them in a paper bag. Shake the bag to release the seeds, then store them in a cool, dry place.
HARVESTING SEED:
SEED LONGETIVITY:
Hollyhock seeds typically remain viable for up to two years if stored in a cool, dry place.
