If you’ve ever dreamed of a garden that feels like something out of a storybook, these Indian Springs Hollyhocks might be just the thing. With tall, elegant spires reaching up to 7 feet, they bloom in soft, old-fashioned shades of rose, pink, salmon, and white—just like the hollyhocks you’d see in an English country garden in the early 1800s.
What makes this variety extra special is that unlike most hollyhocks, Indian Springs often flowers in its very first season from seed. Plant them in full sun from March through June, about 1½ inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart. You’ll start to see sprouts in just 7 to 14 days. They love deep, rich soil and plenty of moisture—and they’re absolutely magical when they’re in bloom.
They’re perfect for planting along a fence or at the back of your garden beds, where their towering blooms can sway gently in the breeze and add that romantic vertical charm. And here’s a little surprise: hollyhocks are edible! Their large, colorful petals make beautiful (and unexpected) garnishes for salads and desserts.
These are the kind of flowers that make people stop and smile—true garden classics that never go out of style.
