Selecting the Right Location:
Hollyhocks thrive in full sun to partial shade. Choose a location with well-draining soil and good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. These tall plants may need staking or support to prevent them from toppling over in windy conditions.
Planting Hollyhock Seeds:
Timing: Plant hollyhock seeds in early spring after the danger of frost has passed or in late summer for blooms the following year.
Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 12 inches and amending it with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage.
