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!
