Pure White Hollyhocks Seeds

Pure White Hollyhock (Alcea chater) is a graceful, old-fashioned garden perennial prized for its tall spikes of large, fully double, snowy-white flowers. The blooms resemble soft ruffled pompons or miniature peonies, creating an elegant vertical display that brightens cottage gardens, borders, and fence lines. With its clean white color, strong garden presence, and classic heirloom charm, Pure White Hollyhock is especially useful for moon gardens, wedding gardens, and any planting where a refined, luminous accent is desired.

Garden Uses
Pure White Hollyhock is excellent for cottage gardens, white gardens, moon gardens, perennial borders, cutting gardens, and plantings along fences, walls, barns, and garden sheds. Its tall flower spikes make it a beautiful background plant behind shorter perennials and annuals. The pure white blooms combine beautifully with lavender, blue delphiniums, pink roses, purple salvia, foxgloves, yarrow, daisies, and ornamental grasses. The flowers are also attractive in tall floral arrangements, especially for soft, romantic bouquets.

Growing Information
Grow Pure White Hollyhock in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Plants typically reach 5 to 7 feet tall with a spread of 18 to 24 inches. Provide regular moisture during establishment and during extended dry periods, but avoid wet, poorly drained soil. Good air circulation is important for healthy foliage and helps reduce the risk of hollyhock rust. Staking may be helpful in windy locations or very rich soils. Seeds may be started indoors before the last frost or direct sown outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Plants are often grown as biennials or short-lived perennials, though early sowing may produce blooms the first year in favorable conditions.
