25 Seeds Bright Red Hollyhock Perennial Flower Seed

Bright red hollyhocks bring a touch of classic cottage garden charm to any landscape. These tall, stately perennials produce towering spikes of vibrant crimson blooms that attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds.

Hollyhocks are ideal for the back of borders, along fences, or as a dramatic focal point. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, blooming in their second year after sowing. With regular deadheading, they may continue to flower throughout the summer. Once established, these self-seeding plants often return year after year, creating a reliable display.
