Hollyhock Queeny (Alcea rosea)

👑 All the drama of a classic hollyhock — at half the height

🌿 Quick Tips

1. Cover seeds with just 5 mm of soil — barely bury them.
2. Sow directly where they'll grow if possible; hollyhocks form a taproot and dislike transplanting.
3. Water at soil level, not on the leaves — wet foliage is the main cause of hollyhock rust.
4. No staking needed thanks to the dwarf habit, but shelter from strong winds still helps.
5. Deadhead spent spikes to push out a second flush of blooms.
