Description
One of the most evocative flowers you can add to your garden… Towering hollyhocks! Nothing says ‘cottage charm’ quite like their bold, statuesque spires coated with ruffled, papery blooms. For months of summer, this mix will keep the colour coming, producing flowers in a kaleidoscope of hues.
You’ll enjoy a full range of colour, from soft pastel shades to deep tones, each plant flowering in succession from the base of the stem upwards, creating a long-lasting crescendo of colour. At maturity, they can reach heights of up to two metres, or more, giving instant structure and impact.
Pollinator appeal is another reason to love them. Each flower is a magnet for bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects, making them as valuable for wildlife as they are for garden design. They’re also generous self-seeders, which means once established, they’ll often leave behind a legacy of seedlings, ready to impress for seasons to come.
Hollyhocks can transform even the plainest borders into vibrant summer spectacles. They’re particularly striking when planted in informal drifts behind lavender, roses, or shrubs, where their height creates a layered backdrop. Along a sunny wall or fence, they’ll soften hard lines and add vertical theatre with very little effort.
Supplied as a set of ten bare roots, ready to plant.
