Planting & Care Guide

When to Sow: Sow seeds outdoors one week before the last frost or start indoors 6–8 weeks early. For blooms the following year, late summer sowing is also effective.

Soil & Spacing: Plant in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Space plants 18–24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation, which helps prevent rust.

Support: Due to their impressive height, hollyhocks may require staking or placement against a sturdy structure (like a garden shed or fence) to protect them from high winds.

Tips for Success

• Seed Selection: Choose high-quality seeds from a reputable supplier to ensure a good mix of colors.
• Maintenance: Regularly check for pests and diseases and take appropriate action to keep your hollyhocks healthy and vibrant.
