The Thompson & Morgan Hollyhock 'Fiesta Time' is an ideal choice for home gardeners seeking a compact, high-impact perennial that brings traditional cottage charm to smaller spaces like patio containers and borders. It stands out for its ability to produce fully double, cerise-pink blooms often within the first year of sowing, though gardeners should ensure they provide adequate support and air circulation to manage its upright growth habit effectively.

Yes, this specific variety is known for being a quick grower and often blooms in its first year from seed.
Absolutely. Their dwarf habit makes them an excellent choice for patio containers.
Yes, the blooms are edible and are commonly used for crystallising or making syrups.
Yes, for the most prolific flowering, they perform best when situated in full sun.
Maintain moist soil conditions during growth, but ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogging.
Yes, once they are established, they are well-suited to the UK climate.
Verify that the temperature remains consistently between 15–21°C and check that the seed compost is moist but not waterlogged.
Even though this is a dwarf variety, high winds can affect them. Provide light staking or ensure they are protected from prevailing winds.
Increase spacing between plants to improve airflow and ensure you are watering at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves.
For optimal germination, sow seeds in temperatures ranging between 15–21°C. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into their final position in well-draining soil. Maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the growth phase, taking care not to saturate the roots. During the active growing season, apply a balanced fertiliser to support the heavy, double blooms. Because these plants are susceptible to fungal issues, ensure you space them appropriately to allow for sufficient air circulation, and avoid overhead watering where possible to keep the foliage dry.
