The listing, Gorgeous Double White Hollyhock Seeds 25 Or 40 GIN has ended.
Wow, these are beautiful and proud spikes of big White delicate flowers! They are called "Double", but they are full like Carnations. Even the leaves are pretty, and edible!
Height: from 4' to 8' tall
They start blooming at the bottom of the tall spike in late spring and continue to open into late Aug. or Sept.
Plant in the fall for a jump on spring, cover with leaves, straw, or mulch in cold areas.
It helps to plant next to the house, garage, fence, or retaining wall. It holds them up when there are high winds. A customer asked about using a trellis. That would be great, but not necessary. You could tie the tall stalks to it if you have high winds.
Ours bloomed from June to September, and new plants came up (3rd pic taken in Sept.). The 2nd pic was taken in July last year.
They may grow leaves and a strong root system first year if planted in spring, and bloom 2nd year. Be patient, it is worth it!
Great cut flowers, floating in a pretty bowl or wine glass!
Decorate Chocolate cakes or cupcakes with them. They are edible. We never use chemicals in our gardens.
Seed collecting: The seed pods look like little drawstring purses. Leave them on the stalk until they are tan/brown, dry, and crispy. Then collect them and save to trade or share with your friends and envious neighbors.
The lucky winner will receive 25 seeds White Double Indian Spring Hollyhock seeds.
If GIN is used- 40 seeds!
