Know before you buy
Yes. While hollyhocks are typically biennial, these established roots are specifically bred to jump-start the cycle, allowing them to bloom during their first growing season.
Space your roots 18 to 24 inches apart. This ensures adequate airflow, which helps prevent common foliage issues and allows the tall spires enough room to develop fully.
Given their height of 60 to 96 inches, these plants are susceptible to strong winds. It is highly recommended to plant them near a fence or provide garden stakes to support the heavy, peony-like blooms.
Absolutely. The 'Peaches 'n Dreams' variety is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making them an excellent choice for an eco-friendly or pollinator-focused garden.
Yes, they are excellent for cut flower gardens. Their tall, dramatic spires and double, peony-like blooms make for a striking focal point in large floral arrangements.
These hollyhocks require full sun to thrive and reach their maximum height. They prefer average, well-draining soil and should be planted at a depth of 2 to 3 inches.
