Renee's Garden Hollyhock Apricot Peach Parfait Seeds offer a stunning display of tall, sturdy spikes adorned with powder puff blossoms in beautiful apricot and rosy-peach shades. Bred in England for both form and color, these 3 to 4-inch frilly blooms unfurl along 5 to 7-foot stalks, creating a striking focal point in cottage gardens. Ideal for screening walls or fences, these long-lasting double hollyhocks make a vibrant garden accent. For best results, sow seeds directly in the garden in full sun, ½ inch deep and 6-8 inches apart, after the last frost. Keep moist until germination in 7 to 14 days. To start indoors, sow seeds 2 inches apart and ½ inch deep in flats or individual containers, 8 weeks before the last frost, providing strong light and keeping the soil moist. When seedlings are 3 to 4 inches tall, acclimate them to outdoor conditions and transplant into the garden. Space seedlings 12 to 18 inches apart for ample growth. Apricot-Peach Parfait may bloom in the first year if planted early, or the following year if started later. After blooming, cut back spent flower stalks, fertilize, and continue watering to encourage a second flush of flowers in the fall.
