Spring Celebrities White Hollyhock

Plant in spring or fall in well-drained, average to fertile soil, spacing 18–24 inches apart. Spring Celebrities White produces tall spikes of pure white, bowl-shaped flowers — classic and elegant. This first-year blooming series eliminates the usual two-year wait for hollyhock flowers. Incorporate compost into the planting area and water well. Choose a sheltered site to minimize wind damage.

Stake in windy locations to prevent toppling. Deadhead spent flowers to extend the blooming season. Provide good air circulation to minimize rust fungus. All parts are mildly toxic. Fertilize in spring. The pure white flowers are classic and versatile, working beautifully in almost any garden style — particularly stunning against dark fences, walls, or dark-foliaged shrubs. Hummingbirds and bees are attracted to hollyhocks throughout the season.
