- Burpee’s Hollyhocks 
Hollyhocks are old garden favorites, excellent for a background to dwarfer plants, for 
screening unsightly places, and planting along bare walls. They are of the easiest culture, 
succeeding best in deep, rich, well-drained soil. The plants like a warm, sunny location, 
sheltered from the wind and should be staked. Bloom from late spring until midsummer.
