Large, showy, cup-shaped flowers on tall upright spikes.  Rough textured, heart-shaped leaves.  Flowers come in a range of colors and mixes.  Most hollyhocks are biennials which self seed readily and will perform like a perennial once established in the garden.  Loved by the hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies!



Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Hollyhocks prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil in a sunny location.  Plant against fence or building or ensure staking if planted in windy location.
