Perfect for creating a vibrant cottage garden look, Hollyhock Crème De Cassis thrives in both borders and containers, bringing height and drama to your floral displays.

To grow Hollyhock Crème De Cassis, sow the seeds indoors in early spring (March to April) in a fine, well-drained seed compost. Keep the seed trays in a warm spot (18-21°C) until germination occurs, which typically takes 14-21 days. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, gradually harden them off before planting outdoors after the last frost. Space the plants about 30-40 cm apart to allow for their natural growth.
This hardy perennial flourishes in well-drained soil and prefers full sun. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, making it an excellent choice for both experienced and novice gardeners. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant and will continue to reward you with stunning blooms year after year.

Whether planted in borders, containers, or flower beds, this first-year flowering variety offers a delightful combination of colours and textures that will captivate both you and the pollinators.
