What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to 20 Ways to Get the Cottage Garden Look

18. Vary heights - here they range from gourds and their vines on the ground up to hollyhocks that are seven feet tall.

added by Becky Harris to Unexpected Edible Gardens

This is one of my favorite gardens. It's in funky Branford, Connecticut. Hollyhocks stand tall while vines of gourds twine beneath them on the ground. It's such an exuberant mix, where every rule has been thrown out the window.

added by Amy Renea to Make the Most of a Small Garden

Another classic cottage plant is the charming hollyhock. Situate this plant in the back of a small border to add height to your garden. When you grow hollyhocks from seed, expect to see your first blooms in the second year.

A space-saving, high-density producer. Watermelon is tucked below the towering hollyhocks to squeeze the most out of the space in this free-spirited garden.
