How to Germinate Hollyhock Indian Spring Mix

How to Germinate Hollyhock Indian Spring Mix (Alcea rosea)

  • Sow Hollyhock Indian Spring Mix seeds directly outdoors in late spring or early summer after the danger of frost has passed.
  • If starting indoors, plant seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them about 12-18 inches apart.
  • Choose a sunny location, as hollyhocks thrive in full sun.
  • Water the soil lightly to keep it moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 10-14 days.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 sets of true leaves and the soil has warmed up.

Additional Tips

  • Hollyhocks prefer full sun and well-draining soil, enriched with organic matter for best growth.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
  • Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
  • Support taller plants with stakes to prevent them from falling over in windy conditions.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent unwanted self-seeding.
