French Hollyhock Seeds

From the Mallow family, this French Hollyhock will bloom the first year from flower seed. This very showy perennial with 2-3 inch lavender to purple blooms will put on a profuse display of color. It reaches 36 inches tall and nearly as wide. It is often a short-lived perennial, but it liberally drops its own flower seeds to continue producing the wonderful flowers year after year. It makes such a statement in the garden that all of your visitors will ask what it is. Heat and drought are not a problem for this perennial.
3-4 feet tall. Zone 3-8. The purple flowers have dark stripes that radiate from the center. Each stem carries multiple blooms all summer. The plants seed prolifically.
