Organic Hollyhock «Peaches 'n' Dreams»
Exceptionally double, gigantic rounded blooms of softest peachy-yellow, many blushed with pink, festoon the tall, sturdy stalks of this old-fashioned favorite!
The plump green buds burst into bloom beginning at the base of the 5- to 6-foot stalks and working their way to the tip, giving you fresh blooms for weeks. Despite the exquisitely delicate look of the blooms, these cottage-garden mainstays are extremely tough, surviving even severe winters unfazed!
How to Grow
Planting hollyhock may be done in spring or fall. Select a sunny location sheltered from the wind. Try to have the soil worked up at least one week before planting time.
Spring plantings will be safer in areas where winters are severe. Plant as soon as nursery stock is received. If plantings must be delayed, place the hollyhock in a cool, shaded area and keep the roots moist. Hollyhock seedlings are grown in a special planting mixture to promote fast growth. Do not pull this material away from the roots, but set the top of the planting material level with the soil line. Firm the soil around the plants and roots by pressing the soil with your hands. Water well to eliminate air pockets that may form around the roots.
