Gorgeous, delicious, and healing...what more could you ask for?  This beautiful, red hollyhock will be a showstopper in your garden and will give you towering blooms from early summer through Fall.   We grow them between our perennial kales and collards as a beautiful pop of color and a great attractant for beneficial insects.  They're also a gorgeous addition to salads and can be used as cooling, moistening medicine.  This is a true perennial hollyhock and will come back season after season with vibrant spires of long-lasting red blossoms. Easy and beautiful.  Get your seeds now while they last!

I love hollyhocks! When I was a child we had some that would come up in the gap between our drive and next door's drive. They were all different colours though. I didn't know then that parts of the plants were edible. We used to like playing with the flowers - like little dolls, and the fruit "cheeses". It was probably us spreading the seeds around that helped the plants come up in different places!
 
What's that smell? Hey, sniff this tiny ad:
