The best way we find to grow hollyhock is to sow these directly in your garden from late summer until at least two weeks before your first frost in early fall. Hollyhock will not germinate when temps are 60 or below and need several days of temps in the 70's to germinate. Work enriched garden soil 6" deep and scatter your seeds and then top with a light dusting of compost or peat. One of the biggest mistakes made with holly hock sowing the seeds too deep as they need light to germinate. The seeds will germinate, and develop roots over winter, and flower the following spring and summer. The last picture is a hollyhock that is about 30 days old that direct seeded in the garden on October 1st here in zone 7. If you get a late start, and want to germinate them in late fall, start them indoors in 4" pots using germination heat mats (or other heat source) to get them to germinate. Once they have their second set of leaves, and are about 2" tall, transplant them into the garden as they send down a tap root and if left in pots will become root bound and not develop correctly.

Very hardy in the garden and also make a great cut flower with a long vase life.
