About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Scarlet Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is grown as a biennial. It forms a leafy rosette during its first growing season, then develops its tall flowering stems in the second. The mature flowering plant typically reaches 5-8 feet.
The maturity period refers to the established, full-size plant, usually reached over 1-2 years, rather than a 70-120-day harvest or a promise of first-year flowers. Summer is the main flowering season; the length of the display depends on climate and growing conditions.
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, allowing 18-24 inches between plants. Provide support in exposed positions and water near soil level to keep foliage dry and maintain airflow.
