Double Hollyhock
Majorette Double Champagne Hollyhock is a dwarf heirloom variety that rewrites what hollyhocks can be. Standing just 30-48 inches tall, it produces fully double, ruffled flowers in soft blushing pink with dark pink centers that genuinely resemble delicate champagne bubbles. Frost-hardy and container-friendly, this cultivar grows as either an annual or biennial in full sun, sprouting in 10-14 days and thriving in temperatures between 65-90°F. It blooms profusely from mid-summer into early fall, making it ideal for smaller gardens, borders, and cottage-style landscapes where traditional tall hollyhocks won't fit.

What makes Majorette Double Champagne special is its romantic, powderpuff-like flowers combined with a genuinely compact growth habit that traditional hollyhocks simply don't offer. The soft, blushing pink blooms with darker centers create an undeniably romantic aesthetic while remaining sturdy and easy to grow. Unlike their lanky cousins, these plants thrive in containers and smaller spaces, blooming prolifically throughout summer and into fall while attracting pollinators with their charming, fully double flowers.
Majorette Double Champagne Hollyhock is grown primarily as an ornamental flowering plant for garden borders, cottage-style landscapes, container cultivation, and pollinator gardens. Its compact, dwarf habit and extended blooming period from mid-summer through early fall make it particularly valuable for smaller gardens where traditional tall hollyhock varieties would overwhelm the space. The fully double, ruffled flowers are ideal for creating romantic, layered garden compositions and attracting bees and other pollinators.
Start seeds indoors in containers 6-8 weeks before your last spring frost. Sow seeds up to 1/2 inch deep and keep soil consistently moist at temperatures between 65-90°F. Seeds typically sprout in 10-14 days. Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening off.
Transplant hardened-off seedlings outdoors in spring after frost danger has passed, spacing them 12 inches apart in full sun with well-drained soil.
Direct sow seeds in spring in full sun. Sow seeds up to 1/2 inch deep and keep soil moist until germination occurs in 10-14 days. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly throughout the blooming season to encourage continued flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Pinch back young plants when they reach 6-8 inches tall if you prefer bushier, more compact growth with additional branching.
