Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) are towering, majestic flowers known for their dramatic height, colorful blooms, and old-fashioned charm. These biennial or short-lived perennial plants can grow up to 8 feet tall, making them ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and backdrops. Hollyhocks are pollinator-friendly, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, and though they are relatively easy to grow, they are susceptible to rust disease. Proper care and maintenance can ensure that these flowers bloom from mid-summer to early fall, creating a beautiful and nostalgic display in the garden. Hollyhocks add a stunning vertical element to any landscape. While growing them from seed requires patience, their stunning blooms and ability to attract pollinators make them worth the effort.

Our Seed Safety Promise
We do not sell genetically modified seeds — ever. And we don’t use genetic engineering to breed new varieties. Instead, our skilled breeders use traditional, natural crossing methods to create hybrid seeds that are healthy, safe, and packed with potential.

Types of Seeds We Offer
Hybrid Seeds (F1)
F1 hybrid seeds are the garden’s high achievers — created by crossing two specially chosen parent plants for superior vigor, uniformity, and performance. We use only traditional breeding methods to produce these powerhouse seeds.
Open-Pollinated & Heirloom Seeds
Our open-pollinated (OP) seeds naturally reproduce through wind, insects, water, or self-pollination. When grown in isolation, they produce true-to-type plants year after year.
Among our OP seeds are treasured heirloom varieties — old favorites that have been carefully passed down for generations. While OP plants can be less uniform than hybrids, we run our Open-Pollinated Project to select the most reliable, flavorful, and beautiful strains. Many are also available as certified organic seeds.
Non-GMO: What It Means and Why It Matters
A GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is created when scientists alter a plant’s DNA in a lab — often by inserting genes from completely unrelated species — to achieve certain traits, like pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. This is a far cry from natural plant breeding.
At Shido, we believe gardening should stay as close to nature as possible. All our seeds — whether hybrid, heirloom, organic, or open-pollinated — are Non-GMO. They’re bred using traditional methods that respect natural biodiversity, giving you safe, wholesome seeds that grow into plants just as nature intended.
When you plant Shido Non-GMO seeds, you’re choosing purity, sustainability, and peace of mind — along with a garden full of flavor, color, and beauty.
