Hollyhocks are old fashioned favorites that belong in every garden. They are native to central Eurasia and may have been brought to western Europe during the time of the crusades. Hollyhocks were brought to America by early colonists because of their medicinal uses, and they were easy to grow. Our Single Mix has a variety of colors ranging from burgundy, pink, red, salmon, white and yellow and is great for the back of the flower border or along fences. Tough and sturdy – tolerates poor soils. Each packet contains 0.5 grams which is approximately 50-60 seeds.
Sow seeds in cell packs, press into the soil, and lightly cover. Germination occurs in 14-28 days. Can direct sow, after all danger of frost is over. Sow into prepared seed beds in groups of 3-4 seeds, spaced 2-3 ft. apart. Thin to the strongest plant in each group.
Hollyhocks grow best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade in the hottest climates. They prefer fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. For best results, irrigate at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, and ensure good air circulation to help prevent disease.
