🌸 Help bring the hollyhocks back to Marblehead!

With their towering stems and whimsical, colorful blooms, hollyhocks were once so common along Marblehead’s narrow streets and garden paths that they became affectionately known as “Marblehead weeds.” Long associated with the town’s historic charm and character, these beloved cottage-garden flowers remain an unofficial symbol of Marblehead to this day.

As part of the Marblehead Garden Club’s 100th anniversary celebration, we’ve launched a Hollyhock Renewal Campaign. Free hollyhock seed packets with planting instructions will be available at the Marblehead Garden Club Information Table during Saturday’s Plant Sale at the Jeremiah Lee Mansion.
