This link says they bloom 2nd year, in July, Aug. Sept. Mine usually bloom in mid May to mid July in NE. The weather is changing. Now this year they are just starting to leaf out, but we are behind due to the cold weather.

With their showy blooms and giant stature, hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) make an interesting addition to any cottage garden.
The plants can reach heights of 6 to 9 feet and work well as a background plant to add height or to cover up an ugly wall.

Most of them said they do not bloom the first year, but will form pretty leaves and a deep root system. One site told how they made it through a flood. So just be patient, it will be well worth it!
