Mr Fothergills Hollyhock Majorette Mixed 50 Seeds

Hollyhock - Majorette Mixed

This variety features delightful, 'powderpuff', mainly double flowers. Its dwarf plants are great for smaller gardens and spaces. Flowers in the first year from an early sowing. This hardy perennial reaches the height of 90cm.

Sow indoors for surest results from March to May, 1.5cm deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse, or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 21-28 days. Transplant individually, when large enough to handle, to 7.5cm pots. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out into well-drained soil, June to October, 60cm apart. Or, sow outdoors, from May to July, in a seed bed, 0.5cm deep, into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 7.5cm apart, before planting out to flowering position in autumn. Flowers from June to August, the following year.
