Description

The listing, Heirloom Hollyhock Seeds has ended.

This auction is for 30 Heirloom Hollyhock Seeds. These seeds are mostly red hollyhocks, although some other colors may have gotten mixed in. All the seeds are from the garden this past growing season 2010.

Hollyhocks are tall, beautiful flowers that are easy to grow from seed and can help make any garden a special place.

Zones 3 through 9 are the areas where these flowers grow well. These flowers are considered biennials, but can be perennials if the flowers are dead headed at the end of their growing season.

Start growing the hollyhock seeds indoors to get a jump on the growing season. These flowers typically have a blooming season from July to September in most parts of the country. Plant the seeds about 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Hollyhocks usually don't bloom until their second year. By starting them early they may bloom the first year.

Fall planting is nice, too, but if you are looking for impact, spring planting one year before is the best way to go. Hollyhocks planted the previous season will have increased blooms the next season.

My mother used to make Hollyhock dolls for us as kids. They were the sweetest thing. Go to Youber Tuber and type in 'How To Make A Hollyhock Doll' by Blizzeekitty. She shows one version. We used to do a full bloom for the skirt and face. Cheers.

My mom used to make those for us too, when we would see them on vacation. We didn't have too many where I grew up in Las Vegas. Maybe that's why I like to grow them now.

Hollyhocks grow wild alongside the roads outside of Chicago. It was lovely to see all of the colours.
