Hollyhock Plants
You wanted tall? How about 2m of strong, leafy stems exploding with rows of supersized flowers in pastels, brights or dark colour tones from June to September? Hollyhocks are the cottage garden plant with the wow factor and since they’re rich in nectar and pollen, the bees and butterflies will be just as impressed as the neighbours. Grow plenty and fill your vases, too. Ours are sustainably grown by Jack in Herefordshire with recycled rainwater and natural pest control, so they’ll raise your garden to new heights year after year.
Which hollyhock?
Choose from soft pastel colours or bright and bold shades and plant your hollyhocks at the back of the border - they’ll tower over everything else. Single flowered varieties are best for bees and butterflies, but for full on flowering, mix them with the ruffled pompoms of the Chater varieties.
Planting schemes and partners
Hollyhocks are an absolute must for your cottage garden - they’ll bring the bees from miles around so all your other plants will benefit too. Try planting hollyhocks near your vegetable patch to boost your crops, or team them with dahlias, gladioli and delphiniums for a cut flower patch to keep you in exhibition-worthy displays all summer long.
Growing tips
Plant your hollyhocks next to a sunny fence or wall, away from strong winds, then water them in well to settle the roots. They’re biennial, so will produce lots of lush foliage one year and skyscraping flower stems the next. Cut them back in autumn when the flowers have finished, give them a fresh layer of mulch and wait for the show to start again in spring.
