Seductive towers of flowers for bees and butterflies make an excellent backdrop for pink, red, yellow, or white flowers. Fairly drought tolerant but performs best with ample moisture. Hollyhock flowers are edible, but very bland; however, the large, colorful petals are lovely garnishing salads or desserts. (The flower's central disk, while edible, can be bitter.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFamily:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMalvaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOrigin unknown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBiennial, hardy in USDA zones 2–8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Period:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSummer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5'–8' tall. 12\" wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety Info:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2\"–4\" yellow, rose, pink and white flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAttributes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAttracts Pollinators, Drought Tolerant, Edible Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, or 2 months before your average first fall frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date.

Harvest in the morning; cut stem at an angle and immediately place in a bucket of warm water. Before placing in a vase, dip the stem end in boiling water for a minute, or sear it over a flame for 20 seconds; this will stop the flow of the milky sap so it does not clog the stem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
