How to Grow
Plant on a cloudy day or in late afternoon to reduce transplant shock. Transplant seedlings about 14” apart when 3 - 4” high. “Deadhead”, remove spent flower heads to encourage continuous flowering and prevent seed development. To propagate, allow some flowers to go to seed and move any seedlings where you want them when they are small. Be sure to give hollyhocks plenty of air circulation as rust can be a serious disease issue otherwise. Hollyhocks may be short lived perennials, but they often seed themselves.
