Hollyhock Growing Tips
Location: Hollyhocks prefer full sun but can tolerate light shade. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for best flower production. Pick a site sheltered from the wind to prevent these tall plants from flopping.
Soil: Hollyhocks tolerate a wide range of soil conditions but will not tolerate wet winter soils. Plant in welldraining, fertile soils for optimal results.
Watering: Young plants thrive in moist environments. Mature hollyhocks typically require water during extended periods of heat and dryness.
Pruning: After flowering, cut back the stalks to encourage a second bloom. At the end of the season, remove old stalks to reduce disease risk.
Propagation: Hollyhocks can be propagated from seeds. Sow seeds outdoors anytime from spring (after all danger of frost has passed.) until 2 months before the first heavy fall frost. If you prefer to start them indoors, do so about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area.
Pest and diseases: Hollyhocks are susceptible to several pests and diseases, including anthracnose, leaf spot, rust, Japanese beetles, and spider mites.
