Halo is a very hardy perennial, surviving frigid zone 3 winters and sweltering zone 9 summers alike. In most gardens it will begin flowering in midsummer and continue through the season, ceasing only when the weather turns chilly in fall. These giant flowerstems sport numerous blooms crowded together -- when fully open, they are a solid wall of rich color! Of course, like all Hollyhocks the buds open from the bottom of the plant upwards, giving you weeks of fresh flowers!
This mix contains all the glorious Halo colors, and is such a beautiful, high-performing assortment that it received a Fleuroselect Novelty Award, Europe's highest honor for a plant from seed. Expect to see all the Halo color combinations here: white, primrose-yellow, all shades of pink and purple, blue, reds of every description -- each with either a dark violet-black eye or a golden-chartreuse halo!
Halo reaches 6 feet high in full sun and rich, well-worked, moist soil. It should be staked or otherwise supported to hold up all those giant blooms, and is destined to become a showstopper in the sunny border or meadow garden. Perfect behind shorter, bushier plants (which can hold it up without your help!), this Hollyhock is the star of any setting. Zones 3-9. Pkt is 25 seeds.
These plants have colorful bloom spikes for the back of a border, in screens, against a fence or wall alongside gateposts, or framing an entryway. Hollyhocks may be tall (4-6 feet) or dwarf (about 2 feet). They have stiff stems, maple-like foliage and, in summer, spikes of single or double blooms, 3-6 inches wide, in all colors (except blue). Old-fashioned types display bell-shaped petals, while modern types are more often fringed, ruffled, or doubled
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
