To raise hollyhocks as biennials, sow seeds outdoors in a cold frame, nursery bed or other convenient place in late summer or early fall but at least two months before frost. The seeds will sprout quickly and form several large leaves before winter. Give the plants a protective winter mulch. In early spring they should be transplanted into flowering position. Handled in this way, hollyhocks will bloom by midsummer in Zones 3-8. In Zones 9-10, young plants are set out in the fall and bloom in spring.
Hollyhocks are an easy plant to grow and they seem to have been around forever. They are especially easy plants for beginners to grow successfully and they can be a strong accent plant in gardens and cottage-like borders.
Hollyhocks bloom over a long summer season and will attract hummingbirds and butterflies. They are a biennial or short-lived perennial, but will usually reseed themselves and return year after year. They can grow up to 7'. Winter hardy to Zone 3. Hollyhocks are available in a variety of colors including white, pink, yellow, red, bi-color shades and black. Hollyhocks are also available as either the old-fashioned single blooms, or the newer doubles.
