How to Plant and Care for Hollyhock Majorette Double White Seeds
Starting Seeds
Sow Hollyhock Majorette Double White seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden once the weather warms up. For indoor sowing, use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the soil. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination, which takes about 14-21 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into your garden or into larger containers. Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants about 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for their tall growth habit.
Watering
Hollyhocks prefer consistently moist soil, especially during their growing period. Water the plant deeply at the base to keep the foliage dry and avoid fungal diseases. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, but never let it become too dry.
Lighting
For optimal growth, plant your Hollyhock Majorette Double White in a location with full sun, where it will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Full sun ensures robust growth and vibrant flowering.
Temperature and Care
Hollyhocks thrive in moderate climates with temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They are cold-hardy and can tolerate a light frost, but they do best in warm weather. Be sure to stake taller plants to prevent them from toppling over in strong winds.
Fertilizing
Feed your hollyhocks with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms. Avoid excessive fertilization, as too much nitrogen can lead to lush foliage with fewer flowers.
Harvesting and Propagating Hollyhock Majorette Double White
Harvesting
Cut the flowers for fresh arrangements when the blooms are fully open. Snip the flowers with sharp scissors, cutting the stems at an angle to allow water absorption. Regularly deadhead the plant to promote continuous flowering throughout the summer.
Propagation by Seeds
Hollyhocks can be propagated from seed, collected after the plant has finished blooming in late summer. Allow the seed pods to dry on the plant before harvesting the seeds. Alternatively, you can propagate them by dividing the root clumps in early spring.

- Cottage Gardens: Adds traditional beauty and elegance to any garden style.
- Cutting Gardens: A stunning addition to floral arrangements.
- Pollinator Gardens: Attracts bees and butterflies.
- Border Planting: Tall and graceful for the back of garden beds or along fences.
