Description

The listing, Gorgeous Double White Hollyhock Seeds*20-40-60 Seeds*Plant Now has ended.

Wow, these are beautiful and proud spikes of big White delicate flowers! I have been calling them "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 the spring and continue to open into mid summer.
Plant now (in the fall) or in the spring, cover with leaves, straw, or mulch in cold areas.
It helps to plant them by 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. You could ite the tall stalks to it if you have high winds.

Ours stopped blooming in August, but new plants are coming up from the same plants (2nd pic taken in Sept.). Cool!

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 20 White Double Hollyhock seeds.

*If this auction goes over 500 credits, I will add 20 more seeds. 40 seeds total.

** If GIN is used you will get 60 seeds!

I also have Wine Hollyhock seeds listed. They would be beautiful planted with the Double White. Check out all of my auctions:)
Happy gardening!

Another reason I showed you the leaves is because its good to know what they look like. Early spring I thought they were a weed and could not pull it out, so I bent over the stalk. oops! They still bloomed just fine but a little crooked. Thats why I could not get a nice picture of the whole stalk:) I'll know better next year.
