Hollyhocks prefer a sunny, sheltered position — against a warm wall or fence is ideal. Transplant seedlings to their final position in autumn, spacing 45–60 cm apart. They will establish over winter and flower the following summer. Once flowering, deadhead regularly to extend the season. Allow a few plants to self-seed for a naturalistic, cottage garden effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Alcea rosea (Bright Pink).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45028412948549,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_43b0429b-3f92-4286-b92d-41b90b419f5a.png?v=1779079485","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/bright-pink-hollyhock-seeds-alcea-rosea","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
