Chater's Double Mix Hollyhocks bring old-fashioned cottage-garden charm to the back of a border with large, fully double flowers in shades of pink, red, white, and yellow. This packet contains 500 non-GMO, heirloom, open-pollinated seeds. Picture a colorful row along a sunny fence, its ruffled blooms rising behind lower-growing flowers.

Enjoy this mix in cottage gardens, back-of-border plantings, or a cutting garden. Hollyhocks are generally grown as biennials or short-lived perennials; flowering time depends on sowing date and growing conditions, so do not count on first-season blooms.

Germination Rate: 86%. Test Date: 5/26. AWSC.

Texas Minimum Germination Rate: None

Why Choose Chater's Double Mix Hollyhocks?

• Fully double flowers: Ruffled blooms create a full, layered look in an old-fashioned flower garden.
• A colorful mix: Shades of pink, red, white, and yellow add variety to beds and borders. Color proportions vary, and every packet is not guaranteed to produce every shade.
• Vertical garden interest: Use the upright habit to create a backdrop behind shorter flowers.
• Cottage-garden character: This heirloom mix complements informal paths, fences, and traditional flower beds.
• Open-pollinated seeds: Grow a traditional seed-propagated flower while allowing for natural variation among plants.

Planting Tips for Success

• Plan ahead: Follow packet instructions and local planting guidance. Allow for the biennial growth cycle rather than assuming flowers in the first season.
• Choose a sunny location: Plant in well-drained soil with room for mature plants. A fence or sheltered border can help reduce wind exposure.
• Prepare the seedbed: Remove weeds and loosen the soil before sowing. Follow packet guidance for seed depth and spacing.
• Water during germination: Keep the seedbed evenly moist without saturating it. Water gently to avoid disturbing seeds and seedlings.
• Protect developing roots: Handle young plants carefully when transplanting, avoiding unnecessary disturbance to their roots.
• Allow airflow: Thin crowded plants and avoid dense plantings. Water near soil level rather than repeatedly wetting foliage.
• Provide support: Stake tall flowering stems when needed, especially in windy gardens. Install supports early to limit root disturbance.
• Fertilize thoughtfully: Follow soil-test recommendations or fertilizer-label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen that encourages foliage instead of flowers.
• Monitor foliage: Watch for rust or other leaf problems. Remove affected debris and ask your local extension service for regionally appropriate care.
• Manage reseeding: Remove spent flowers before seed develops if you want to limit volunteer seedlings.
