What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Hollyhock Seeds produce classic, old-fashioned flowers that bring height, color, and pollinator activity to the garden. This heirloom biennial can be planted in spring for summer blooms or in fall for flowering the following season. Tall, upright spikes rise 5–6 feet and are covered with large, colorful blossoms in a cheerful mix of white, yellow, pink, and red.

A staple of cottage gardens and fence-line plantings, hollyhocks create strong vertical interest and pair beautifully with shorter perennials and annuals. Their nectar-rich blooms are especially attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, making them a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Classic Cottage Garden Beauty:

  • Tall flower spikes reaching 5–6 feet
  • Blooms in mixed colors including white, yellow, pink, and red
  • Traditional favorite for borders, backdrops, and fences
  • Adds strong vertical structure to garden designs

Why Customers Love Hollyhocks:

  • Timeless, old-fashioned garden appeal
  • Easy to grow and rewarding once established
  • Attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators
  • Excellent for cottage gardens and informal landscapes

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow hollyhock seeds in full sun and well-drained soil. Seeds may be planted in spring for flowers later the same summer or in fall for blooms the following year. Keep soil consistently moist during germination and early growth.

As a biennial, hollyhocks typically focus on leaf growth before sending up tall flower spikes. Space plants adequately to allow airflow and support healthy growth. Staking may be helpful in windy areas due to their height.
