What customers say
The Double Hollyhock Mix earns praise for its show stopping beauty and vibrant colors once established, fulfilling the promise of double blooms. Experienced gardeners who overcome initial hurdles offer glowing reviews regarding the impressive height and visual impact. However, overall satisfaction is tempered by significant challenges during the planting phase. A recurring pain point is inconsistent or low germination, frustrating many customers. Furthermore, some dissatisfaction arises because these typically biennial plants do not flower in the first year. While the mature quality is high, the steep learning curve and uncertainty surrounding successful initial growth slightly lower the general satisfaction score for all users.
