Hollyhocks are classic cottage garden staples that bring height and charm to any sunny border. These impressive plants produce tall, sturdy spikes covered in large, showy blooms throughout the summer. They are often grown as biennials, meaning they spend their first year establishing foliage and bloom in their second.
