The quick and convenient step by step guide to growing your Hollyhock Seeds!
As its appearance suggests, Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is a relative of the exotic hibiscus of the tropics. This plant grows best in full sun and rich soil and in a protected location.
We no longer carry seed for every plant we write about. What we can hand you is the way we grow the herbs we do sell: living soil, no synthetic fertiliser, no pesticide, and a soil test we publish. Build a regenerative herb garden the way we do →
How to Grow Hollyhock from Seed!
# 1 | Plant the hollyhock seeds after any chance of the last spring frost in your area. Plant in a spot with full sun and rich soil.
# 2 | Plant hollyhock seeds no more than 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate which should occur in 14-21 days.
# 3 | When the hollyhocks bloom, make sure the soil does not dry out.
