How to Plant and Care for Hollyhock Seeds – Summer Carnival - Pink
Starting Seeds Sow the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the threat of frost has passed. Hollyhock seeds require light to germinate, so lightly press them into the soil surface or sow them in a seed-starting mix indoors. Maintain a warm temperature of about 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination, which should occur in 7-14 days.
Transplanting Seedlings Once seedlings are large enough to handle and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them to a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space the plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for their tall growth and to provide enough room for air circulation.
Watering Hollyhocks prefer regular watering but do not like to sit in waterlogged soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
Lighting This variety of hollyhock thrives in full sun and will bloom best when it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If planting in containers, place them in a sunny spot on a porch, balcony, or patio.
Fertilizing Feed your hollyhocks with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms. Over-fertilization may result in excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers, so it's best to follow the recommended fertilization schedule.
Pruning To promote continued blooming, remove spent flowers regularly. This will also help to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage new blooms. After the blooming period ends, you can cut back the plant to the ground in the fall to help prevent disease and prepare for next season.
