The medium-height stems of Indian Spring Hollyhock are adorned with single and semi-double flowers in various shades of pink. Renowned for their abundant flowering, the Indian Spring Mix is notable for blooming in its inaugural year, a rarity among Hollyhocks.

Large single and semi-double flowers in hues of deep rose, pink, salmon-pink, and white adorn plants reaching heights of 180-210 centimeters. Previously referred to as 'Outhouse Hollyhocks' due to their towering stature, they provided effective screening. Blooming from midsummer through September, these flowers exhibit remarkable beauty and resilience. Recognized as a 1939 All-America Selections Winner, they continue to captivate gardeners with their charm and versatility.

Amidst the garden, towering plants boasting large single and semi-double flowers paint a picturesque scene. Their vibrant shades of deep rose, pink, salmon-pink, and white stand tall at 383-213.36 centimeters, offering a striking display of color. Once dubbed 'Outhouse Hollyhocks' for their ability to conceal unsightly views, these blossoms bring elegance and grace to any landscape. From midsummer through September, they bloom prolifically, attracting admiration and awe.

 

How To Grow

Start Indian Spring Hollyhock seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow the seeds 1 centimeter deep in seed trays filled with well-draining potting mix. Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 18-21°C for optimal germination. After the last frost, transplant the seedlings outdoors to a sunny location with fertile, loamy soil. Space the plants about 30-45 centimeters apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide support for the tall stems as they grow to ensure sturdy plants.

Harvesting

When the Indian Spring Hollyhock flowers reach full bloom, carefully snip the stems just below the blossoms using sharp scissors or pruning shears. Collect the harvested flowers promptly to ensure freshness and prevent wilting.

Seed Saving

Allow the harvested Indian Spring Hollyhock flowers to dry completely on a clean, dry surface indoors. Once dry, gently rub the flower heads between your fingers to release the seeds. Separate the seeds from the chaff and store them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container until the next planting season.
