Wow, I LOVE these! They are absolutely stunning and beautiful! I expected 5-6ft at most based on the description but the majority of them are massively tall in my garden. Compare them to the Trellis at the top of the stairs that go down my terraced garden - they're much taller than it. They're really beautiful, tons of blooms, very long-lasting & they've held themselves up with no problem except for the few that unfortunately had a pesky gopher eat their roots.
Notes on why they may be growing so great in my yard:
1. We're in a warmer area of the greater San Francisco Bay area, so great growing weather - not too hot, not too cold.
2. We'd just terraced the back hill for planting and dumped in tons of high quality growing soil.
3. The terraced areas area is NW facing and gets tons of sun, including the hottest of the day evening setting sun.
4. We have a drip system to the terraces, so they receive regular water (although many are growing in areas that don't have a direct drip near them).
I'm sure the above helps significantly. I have another area that we didn't put good soil, it's just the quite-dry dirt that was already there, and most everything I planted in that area is not growing. However, I did not try any of the hollyhocks in that area.

Product Description
Delightful Blooms
Hollyhock puts forth large, impressive blooms that are sure to catch the eye, and look magnificent in the garden!
Hollyhock (Alcea Rosea Halo Apricot)
Hollyhocks are a classic English cottage garden plant, forming tall upright plants growing 6 feet tall with large, fully open 4 - 5 inch blooms from summer to early autumn. These delightful plants are typically perennial, but they’re often grown as biennials. Halo Apricot hollyhock is one of the showiest and highest performing hollyhocks you can grow!
Part of the bicolored "Halo" series of hollyhocks, Alcea rosea "Halo Apricot" bears large pink to apricot single flowers with a contrasting dark pink center. Flowering in its first year, it is easy to grow from seed and perfect for planting in groups at the back of a sunny border. For best results, grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Cut down this plant after flowering to encourage fresh basal growth.
Beautiful Perennial
How to Grow
To get a jump start on the growing season, you can sow these seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Using starter trays and quality starter mix, sow the seeds on the surface, pressing them into the soil to make good contact.
Young seedlings can be transplanted or even moved to other positions in the garden. The first year the seed is sown, they will establish their root system, and the second year the colorful show will begin and also develop drought tolerance.
During the bloom season, water plants well and fertilize. After bloom season, cut back the stalks hard, down to just 3 - 4 inches above ground.
