Perennial up to USDA zone 2. Blooms in summer.
Height: 5' to 8' tall. Full sun.
Very tall spires of single flowers in colors of yellow, purple, pink, red, and white. The ultimate cottage garden flower - an English garden of 1850 would have had several varieties of this old-fashioned flower. With its long bloom time of 30 - 90 days, they look great against a fence or wall. Hollyhocks prefer rich boggy soil, but are fairly drought tolerant. Many gardeners are familiar with the hollyhock dolls that can be made out of the flowers, but did you know that the petals are also edible? Nice gourmet color addition to salads or used as a garnish. Sometimes used to make tea or planted near beehives to produce tasty honey.
OUTDOORS: Sow seed in ground in early summer. Plants started in early spring or started indoors early tend to lose their perennial habit and are more susceptible to disease. May also sow in late summer or early fall for bloom the next season.
INDOORS: Sow 6 - 8 weeks before last average day of frost. (to treat as an annual that blooms first season)
Special Germination Instructions: Seed requires light to germinate - press lightly into soil surface and keep moist.
