Majorette Double White Hollyhock – MIg

Description

Majorette Double White Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is a beautiful compact hollyhock variety producing elegant, fully double white flowers on upright stems. Unlike traditional tall hollyhocks, the Majorette series has a more compact growth habit, making it suitable for flower beds, borders, containers, and smaller gardens.

The ruffled blooms create a soft, classic look and are excellent for attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators. They also make attractive cut flowers for bouquets and arrangements.
