Summer Carnival Hollyhock Mix Seeds AE20235518

This AAS Winner blooms in just 4 months from seed

All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 1972

In 4 vibrant shades, these big semi- to fully-double flowers arise all along tall, sturdy stalks beginning just 4 months from sowing. An annual Summer Carnival Hollyhock is a long-blooming, very colorful series so garden-worthy that it received an AAS Award. Tall and stately, it blooms all summer for a rich display of big powderpuff blossoms in every shade of pink, rose, red, and yellow.

The 4-inch blooms are richly hued, and will not fade in the summer sun. Superb for cutting, they open from the bottom of the stalk upwards, keeping you in fresh blooms for weeks on end. And this stunning series sets its blooms even lower on the stalk than most hollyhocks, for a little more color on every stalk.

Easy to grow in full sun and almost any well-drained soil, this annual really takes off with a top-dressing of cow manure.
