    Customer photo review of Hollyhock Seeds - Summer Carnival Mix

    Mine bloomed the second year when planted in the spring. Beautiful foliage the first year even though there were no blooms. But these grow HUGE. I wish I had installed a cage or something to support the stocks. Mine aren't growing straight for some reason they're all compacted from the same location. I maybe planted seeds to close together. Stunning varieties of pink and lots of compliments. I just wish they weren't so unruly. My one's out back are blooming their first year as they were planted in the fall and growing more straight so far.
