Dwarf Majorette Mix Hollyhock Seeds — Alcea rosea
All the Charm, Half the Height
The Dwarf Majorette Mix brings the magic of hollyhocks to smaller spaces. This compact form of Alcea rosea produces fully double, ruffled blooms in a cheerful mix of pinks, reds, whites, yellows, and salmons — all on bushy, manageable plants that don't need staking. Perfect for pots, small borders, and courtyard gardens where a full-sized hollyhock simply won't fit.

Growing Tips for New Zealand
Sow seeds in spring into well-drained seed-raising mix. Unlike taller hollyhocks, Majorette can be sown in spring and will often flower the same season. Transplant seedlings to a sunny, well-drained position, spacing 30–40 cm apart. Ideal for containers and patio pots as well as garden borders. Deadhead regularly to extend flowering through summer and into autumn.
