Flower Glossary

Hollyhock

The Hollyhock is a quintessential summer flower, evoking the charm of an English country garden. Known for its vibrant colours, impressive height, and timeless beauty, this flower adds a touch of elegance wherever it’s planted. Though a short-lived perennial, Hollyhocks reseed readily, ensuring new generations of blooms each year if left to their own devices.

These flowers are easy to grow and fairly resilient once established. They thrive in bright, sunny spots with well-draining soil, though they aren’t particularly picky about soil conditions. Once they begin flowering, Hollyhocks will bloom continuously from early summer until frost. To encourage more flowers, be sure to remove spent blooms regularly.

Hollyhocks are prone to a fungal disease called rust, so it’s crucial to give them enough space to allow air circulation between plants. Additionally, avoid wetting the leaves when watering to reduce the risk of this disease. Given their height, they will need staking to support their tall, heavy stalks and protect them from falling over due to their own weight or high winds.

As cut flowers, Hollyhocks are a delight, with a vase life of 7-10 days. Available in numerous colours and flower types, they’re a reliable bloomer, bringing beauty year after year. Whether as fresh cut flowers (seasonally available) or as part of our artificial collection year-round, the Hollyhock is a stunning addition to any arrangement or garden. This flower truly deserves to be shared with all!
