 Sowing Seeds | Late February to April. In the UK, hollyhock seeds can be sown indoors from late winter to early spring, typically in February or March, to give them a head start before the last frost passes. |
 Germination | March to May. With the right conditions, hollyhock seeds usually germinate within 14 to 21 days after sowing, which falls within the months of March to May in the UK. |
 Transplanting | April to June. Once the seedlings have developed a few true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, usually in April to June in the UK, they can be transplanted into their permanent positions outdoors. |
 Booming | June to August. Hollyhocks typically bloom from early to mid-summer, with their vibrant flowers adding color and charm to the garden during the warmer months in the UK. |
 Spacing | 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart. Provide enough space between plants to allow for proper air circulation and prevent overcrowding, which can lead to disease issues. |
 Depth | 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep. Hollyhock seeds should be sown at a shallow depth, pressing them gently into the soil surface and covering them lightly with a thin layer of soil. |
 Soil Type | Well-draining, fertile soil. Hollyhocks thrive in rich, loamy soil with good drainage. Adding compost or well-rotted manure to the soil before planting can help improve fertility and soil structure. |
 Watering | Regular watering, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as hollyhocks prefer evenly moist soil. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can increase the risk of fungal diseases. |
 Sunlight | Full sun to partial shade. Hollyhocks prefer full sun but can tolerate some light shade, especially in hot summer climates. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. |
 Pest | Keep an eye out for pests like aphids, caterpillars, and rust disease. Regularly inspect plants for signs of pest damage or disease and take appropriate action, such as handpicking pests, using insecticidal soap, or applying fungicides as needed. Proper spacing, good air circulation, and avoiding overhead watering can help prevent common issues. |
