How to Plant HOLLYHOCK Seeds
Sow seed in 2 inch pots or cell packs, press into soil and lightly cover. Kept at 70-75° F., germinationis in 14-28 days. Can direct sow into prepared seed beds after all danger of frost, in groups of 3-4
seeds, spaced 2-3 feet apart. Thin to the strongest plant.
Comments: Full sun; part sun in hottest climates. Best performance in fertile soil with regular moisture. Irrigate from below and provide good air circulation. Unless noted with listing, varieties are biennial (flowering the second season) or short-lived perennials. When started indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, many will bloom the first season. After flowering, cut back plants hard, to a few inches above ground. Continue to water and fertilize; will repeat bloom in late summer and fall. Often self-sows. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
