The listing, Hollyhock Seeds*Gorgeous Rich Wine*40 Or 60* Seeds! has ended.
Wow! These will get attention and make all your neighbors envious!
Up to 8' tall spikes of beautiful rich Burgundy/Wine flowers will add color to your garden or yard. I have them in 6 different locations on our acreage. Its awesome to see them where ever I go, even looking out the kitchen window by the garage (1st & 4th pic)! Last 2 pics are this year, 6/24 & 6/28, starting to bloom.
Easy to grow, plant now for blooms next year!
Our most popular flower seeds
Plant in the spring or fall and cover with leaves, straw, grass clippings, or mulch in cold areas.
Perfect along a fence, house, garage, or retaining wall.
Seem to be slightly drought tollerant, I do not water them very often.
Usually do not need staking unless there are very strong winds. We have strong winds in NE, so I left some volunteer trees to help them. A customer asked about a trellis. It would be great behind them, but not a necessity. You can tie the tall stalks to it.
Hollyhocks are fairly short~lived, I have heard around 3 years, so be sure to scatter some seeds every year to make sure they never stop. They will also drop some seeds naturally.
The first picture was taken in May, and I took the picture of the single flower 7/23/12. Really windy that day, and I had to bend the stalk down to get a picture, it is so tall.
The flowers and leaves are edible, to decorate cakes, add to salads, etc. We never use chemicals in our gardens.
The lucky winner will receive 40 seeds from 2012 plants.
**If auction goes over 1,200 credits or GIN is used you will get 60+ seeds:)
