FREE: 100 Heirloom Hollyhock Seeds & A Nice Surprise!

The listing, 100 Heirloom Hollyhock Seeds & A Nice Surprise! has ended.

Hollyhocks are among the easiest old-fashioned flowers to grow, whether as a dramatic height backdrop behind smaller flowers or to pack some visual punch onto a wall or fence. Wonderful and showy.

Hollyhocks prefer partial or full sun and moist, rich but well drained soil. The mistake many novice hollyhock growers make is to plant this flower in soil that is too dry. To correct this, dig about a 1 foot deep/wide hole for each flower (or trenching 1 foot by 1 foot). Put sand in the bottom 1/4 of the hole or trench, and mix that with some of the dirt. Then mix potting soil with the rest of the dirt and you'll have a mixture that will guarantee your flowers will love you forever!

Sow the seeds outside about a week before last frost. If starting them in a greenhouse, then plant out the seedlings 2-3 weeks after final frost. Hollyhock seeds only need to be planted right below the soil, no more than 1/4 of an inch deep.

Hollyhock plants should be about 2 feet apart to grow well.
