The listing, Gorgeous Double White Hollyhock Seeds*40 Seeds*Plant Now Or Spring 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 August 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 last year, and new plants came (3rd pic taken in Sept. 2012). The 2nd pic was taken in July this year.
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 40 White Double Hollyhock seeds.
