Hollyhock Dwarf Queeny Mix Seeds

The Hollyhock Dwarf Queeny is a compact, floriferous variety of the beloved hollyhock, producing stunning, fully double flowers in a range of soft pastels and bold hues, including pink, red, white, and purple.

 

Unlike traditional hollyhocks, this dwarf cultivar grows to a manageable height, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, and front borders.

 

With its bushy growth habit and long-lasting blooms, this variety adds a touch of classic cottage garden charm while being easier to maintain than taller hollyhocks.

 

It is a favourite among pollinators such as bees and butterflies, helping to enhance biodiversity in your garden.

 

Resilient and low maintenance, this hardy perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering a spectacular display year after year.

Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from March to April in trays or small pots filled with fine compost. Lightly cover the seeds and keep the soil moist, maintaining a temperature of 18-21°C for successful germination.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting them in their final position after the last frost. Space plants 30-40 cm apart in a sunny, sheltered location.

 

For direct outdoor sowing, wait until after the last frost and sow seeds in well-prepared soil. Lightly rake, water gently, and thin seedlings as necessary to allow for proper spacing.

 

 

The Hollyhock Dwarf Queeny is the perfect addition to any garden, offering a dazzling display of colour in a compact and manageable form.
