I have a love affair going on with Hollyhocks, I can never, ever have too many of them. Majestic spires and beautiful colours…. a true country cottage favourite to me, the butterflies and the bees!

Plant Care Tips

I find it best to sow the seeds in June into seed trays, pot on when bigger, and then plant them out into the garden in September to flower the following late spring/early summer. You can just sow them directly into position in May/June if you prefer.

Cover the seeds only very lightly as they need light to germinate. These are tall plants and need space so place them 2 feet apart when planting out. Grow them up against walls and fences or stake them to protect them from the wind.

Sow in a seed tray June-mid July and leave outside
Keep moist
Pot on once large enough to handle and then plant out where they are to grow in September
Will flower the following year
Tall plants for the back of a border or against a wall
