The flower stalks on hollyhocks can reach heights of 9 feet (2.7 m.) tall! They can tower above a garden, adding a lovely vertical element to your yard. Let’s look at a few tips on hollyhocks to help you grow them in your yard. How to Plant Hollyhocks The first thing to understand is how to plant hollyhocks. Hollyhocks need full sun and moist, rich, well drained soil. The mistake many novice hollyhock growers make is to plant this flower in soil that’s too dry. Soak your seeds beforehand in warm water for approximately 12 hours. Spring sown hollyhock seeds may flower the same year or next. Fall-sown seeds will flower the following year. Scatter seeds over soil, do not bury with more than ¼” of soil. Water to a depth of 2”. Expect germination in 10-14 days. Thin seedlings to 18-36 inches apart. Water seedlings and established hollyhocks when the soil surface dries out.Once you have planted your hollyhocks, they will need minimal care, but there are a few things you should be aware of when growing hollyhocks. Here are some tips on hollyhocks. First of all, hollyhocks are a short lived perennial. This means that most varieties will only live two to three years. Their lifespan can be extended some by removing growing hollyhock flowers as soon as they fade. If you live in a non-tropical region, cutting them back to the ground and mulching them will also help.The one benefit that comes from growing hollyhock flowers is that they easily reseed themselves. While they may be short lived, in their proper growing conditions they will continually grow more, which will keep the hollyhock flowers consistent in years to come.WE SHIP FAST & FREE!
