Key Characteristics
Description / Summer Carnival Hollyhock Mix Seeds
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.

Like: really does flower first year (the seedlings I put in full sun were blooming by August; in partial sun by September), half came out as single flowers, peach and burgundy flowers showed up for me too. Dislike: needs staking, bees seem to be having a hard time finding or getting to the pollen on double flowers. I bought this mix as an adjunct to the Happy Lights Mix I really wanted but weren't blooming yet, specifically for the first year bloom. Since I was going for single flowers and a wider color range, I was surprised and delighted to see some in this mix. The doubles are beautiful too. There is conflicting information about whether this is an annual or a perennial, so I will have to wait and see if this comes back next year. If it does, I will keep it along with my other hollyhocks.
