5X Hollyhock Plants Chaters Mix
here we have a bargain mix of 5 young plants.
A hardy Perennial that Flowers year after year.
A Variety of Shades including pinks, peach, white, appleblossom, crimson red and deep purple.
Be the envy of your neighbours with 10 of these beautiful Plants
will flower next year!!!
Hollyhocks are biennial which means, if you were to sow hollyhock seeds next year, they won't flower the same year.
Hollyhock's are a tall long flowering border classic that are actually self supporting! this specially selected mix features numerous fully double flowers in a range of powerful vivid colours that appear from mid summer onwards. Hollyhocks need full sun and free draining soil. Super tough and easy to grow, with a second flush of flowers later in the summer if you cut the flowered stems back as soon as they start to look tatty! Great at the back of a border or along a wall.
Colour: Full Colour Mix
Sun Shade: Full Sun
Where to Plant: Beds, Borders , and deep containers (i have in the past)
Flowering Time: June, July, August, September, October, November
Height: 1-1.5m
Spread: 41-50cm
starting from the top of the root ball the plants are 2 - 4 inches high (5cm- 10cm). at the moment. (but getting bigger)
once arrived you could either plant out in autumm 41-50cm apart to flower next year.
or grow them on and overwinter them in a greenhouse or somewhere safe and plant out in spring, and they will still flower next year.
I would to advise to grow them on a bit so the little slugs and snails dont get at them whilst they're still establishing.
