Hollyhock Flower Seeds - Carnival Mix Giant Mallow Double Hollyhock Seeds for Home Garden

The Hollyhock Carnival Mix is renowned for its extensive color variety, making it a versatile and visually captivating addition to any garden. This mix typically includes a wide range of hollyhock varieties, showcasing an array of shades such as pink, red, yellow, white, and even bi-color or multi-color blossoms.

As a garden plant, hollyhocks can be an excellent choice for border plantings, cottage gardens, or any area where you seek to infuse vertical interest and a burst of vibrant color. Their tall flower spikes, reaching heights of 4 to 8 feet, make them a standout feature that can also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

One of the notable characteristics of hollyhocks is their ability to self-seed. Once established, they may produce new plants from fallen seeds, ensuring a continuous display of blooms in the subsequent years. This makes them a low-maintenance and reliable choice for gardeners who aim to enjoy their floral displays year after year.

Our hollyhock seeds are carefully packaged in tear and moisture-resistant materials, and stored in a controlled, dry facility to ensure freshness and optimal germination. These non-GMO, untreated seeds are true to the Carnival Mix variety, providing you with the authentic hollyhock experience.

To ensure successful growth, it is recommended to choose a planting site that receives full sun to partial shade, as hollyhocks thrive in ample sunlight but can also tolerate some shade. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter, with a preference for fertile, loamy conditions.

The ideal planting time for hollyhock seeds is in the spring or early summer, after the last frost date in your region. You can also opt to sow them in late summer for blooms the following year. When preparing the soil, work it to a depth of 6 to 8 inches and incorporate organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to enrich the growing medium.

Sow the relatively large hollyhock seeds directly into the garden bed, planting them at a depth of approximately 1/4 inch and spacing them at least 18 inches apart to accommodate their eventual growth. Water the area gently but thoroughly after sowing to ensure good soil contact around the seeds, and continue to keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period.

Once the seedlings reach a few inches in height, thin them to the desired spacing, leaving the strongest and healthiest plants. Provide support structures, such as stakes or plant supports, to help the tall hollyhocks withstand windy conditions. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, and the application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring will further ensure the plants' healthy growth and continuous blooming.
