Hollyhock 'Majorette'
Botanical Name: Alcea rosea 'Majorette'
Type: Short-Lived Perennial (often grown as a Biennial or Annual)

Hollyhock 'Majorette' is a compact, dwarf variety of the traditional hollyhock, producing stunning double and semi-double ruffled blooms in a range of rich colours — from deep red and rose to yellow, pink, and white. Unlike traditional tall hollyhocks, 'Majorette' stays neat and bushy, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, and front-of-border displays. Flowering in its first year from an early sowing, it's a cheerful, pollinator-friendly bloomer with old-fashioned charm.
