They were once called &#8220;outhouse flowers&#8221; because Hollyhocks were grown around outhouses as they they were tall enough to cover them. Today home flower gardeners enjoy growing hollyhocks in borders or against walls and fences.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Halo Blush&#8217; Hollyhock has large, showy, white flowers with glowing, bright-pink centers that form a halo. Blooming from June to August, they are an irresistible attraction to hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.<\/p>\n<p>The life expectancy of Hollyhocks can vary greatly. While they are typically biennials or short-lived perennials, we have had them grow as annuals and flower the first year. Plants will self-sow for years to come, so you are never without Hollyhocks.<\/p>\n<p>Related to Hibiscus, Hollyhocks are drought tolerant, but perform best with ample moisture and rich soil. They flourish in sunny locations that are protected from wind. Reaching heights of 5-8 feet, they tower over most other plants. Ideal to grow against a chainlink fence which the flower spikes will grow up through, supporting them.<\/p>\n<p>Type: Biennial, perennial<\/p>\n<p>Sun exposure: Full sun<\/p>\n<p>Mature height: 5- 8 ft<\/p>\n<p>Mature width: 12-18 inches<\/p>\n<p>Hardiness zones: 3- 9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>20 seeds<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36949,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2602,4603,2599,4599,2600],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-35056","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all-seeds","product_cat-attracts-hummingbirds","product_cat-biennials","product_cat-flowers","product_cat-perennial-flower-seeds","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","add-to-wishlist-before_image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/35056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=35056"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=35056"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=35056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
