Know before you buy
As a biennial, this variety typically spends its first year establishing a root system and foliage, with the primary bloom occurring in the second year. However, if started early enough in the season, some gardeners may see blooms toward the end of the first year.
While traditional hollyhocks can reach heights of 6 to 8 feet, the Majorette Double Mixed is a compact variety that stays between 30 and 48 inches. This makes it a much more manageable choice for smaller garden beds or container gardening.
Yes, these are well-suited for containers due to their compact growth habit. Ensure you use a pot with adequate drainage and enough depth to accommodate their root system, keeping in mind they require full sun to bloom effectively.
While no plant is completely immune to hungry wildlife, this variety is generally avoided by deer and rabbits. Their preference for other plants makes them a reliable choice for gardens in areas with high animal traffic.
These hollyhocks thrive in full sun, which is essential for producing their signature double blooms. They require moderate watering, though they are notably drought-tolerant once established.
