Hollyhocks are a classic English cottage garden plant, forming tall erect plants growing 6 - 8 feet tall with large, fully open 4 - 5 inch blooms from summer to early autumn.
Plants are typically perennial, but they’re often grown as biennials. Halo Apricot hollyhock is one of the highest performing, showiest hollyhocks you can grow.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
