Alcea rosea

Not for the timid, these Hollyhocks can grow 6-9' tall! Beautiful old variety has multi-colored single blooms of white, pink, red, and burgundy. Loved by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Outhouse gets its name because it used to be planted around outhouses, both to mask smell and add a pretty visual barrier. Perfect background plant for borders. Seeds must be cold stratified for best germination. Typically grown for flowers. Biennial.

When to Seed Hollyhock

Hollyhock should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Hollyhock

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate an extremely wide range of growing conditions. This biennial bloom will flower in the second year and come back year after year. It will readily reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a location! Plants reach six to nine feet tall. 

Growing Hollyhock

Sow seeds on the surface and three to six inches apart. Once germinated, thin your seedlings to 12 to 24 inches. 

Harvesting Hollyhock

Hollyhock can be harvested for cut flowers or left to mature in the garden to benefit the many pollinator species that are attracted to it.
