Queeny Mix Hollyhocks Seeds

Queeny Mix Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is a unique compact hollyhock that delivers all the old-fashioned beauty of traditional hollyhocks in a much shorter, more manageable plant. Producing large, fully double blooms in an elegant mix of pink, rose, salmon, yellow, cream, white, and rich crimson shades, Queeny Mix flowers over a long period while fitting beautifully into modern flower beds, containers, and smaller gardens. Unlike the towering varieties that often require staking, this award-winning selection forms sturdy, bushy plants that bloom freely their first season from seed.

Garden Uses
Queeny Mix is ideal for cottage gardens, mixed perennial borders, patio containers, cutting gardens, foundation plantings, and pollinator gardens. Its compact habit makes it especially valuable near the front or middle of flower beds where traditional hollyhocks would be too tall. It pairs beautifully with Shasta Daisy, Delphinium, Salvia, Foxglove, Dianthus, Coreopsis, Yarrow, and ornamental grasses. The long-lasting double blooms also make excellent cut flowers, bringing classic cottage-garden charm indoors.

Growing Information
Queeny Mix performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Plants typically grow 24 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, remaining much shorter than standard hollyhocks while maintaining excellent flower production. Water regularly during establishment, then provide moderate moisture throughout the growing season. Good air circulation helps keep foliage healthy. Deadheading encourages additional blooms, although allowing a few flowers to mature may result in gentle self-seeding. Seeds should be lightly covered with soil, as they germinate readily under warm conditions. In many climates, plants bloom the first year when started early indoors.
