Grow a garden filled with the gorgeous Double Majorette Hollyhock, from freshly harvested Alcea rosea flower seeds. Double Majorette will produce a blend of Carnation like flowers, in shades of red, yellow, pink & even a dark mahogany. The blooms trail along erect stems, which measure a good 30 to 36 inches tall. Double Majorette is a more dwarf variety of Hollyhock, making it easier to place in the garden. They can be grown in flower beds, or used as a border plant. They are also popularly used in butterfly gardens, along fences & driveways, or as a backdrop plant as well. Double Majorette will attract an array of beneficial insects to the garden, such as butterflies, bumblebees, honeybees and hummingbirds as well. Grown as a biennial flowering plant, Double Majorette Hollyhock will grow quickly, establishing a deep root system. The plants will then wilt on the surface due to the freezing temperatures of winter, later returning the following spring. Biennials such as this are known to flower the second year. You can however achieve blooms in the first growing season, if the plants are started early enough. Hollyhock plants are known to readily self seed, so they are often seen as a perennial flowering plant. The seeds can either be collected at the end of the season, when all of the blooms have dried out, or they can drop to the bare ground beneath.
