Hollyhocks are biennial which self seed prolifically or short-lived perennials. Sow your seeds in the Fall so they will bloom in their second year, some even in their third year’s. Individual hollyhock flowers can be removed when they fade. If you’d like to have seeds set for next spring, leave the flowers and a few stalks until the seeds have dropped. From my experience, you cut back some stalks on a plant and new shoots emerge quicker from underground when they return the next year. You can cut all stalks off but new shoots emerge (June 1, 2024) much slower than when you just cut some stalks off and it may not all come back, a few of mine didn’t come back. This will prevent seed heads from forming and reseeding. The ones that did return, they’re in their fourth year. **If you’re interested, you can buy some seeds I have on my separate hollyhock seed ad.** Require full sun. Make sure to fertilize them. Make sure to water at the base and cut off some leaves to air out at the base. These plants are mix colors of pink, light peachy pink and purply pink. Also any of the mix colors in picture #4 and color light yellow with a hint of green. Hollyhocks do cross pollinate. Bees change the color of your hollyhock, so some times you don’t always get the color you start out with. My tallest plant was 10 feet tall and because is in its third year. Every year some leaves dies back but the root grows back stronger and grows tall and taller until it gets to maturity. Mature size about 6-8 feet tall, 1-2 feet wide. 3 Plants for $10, see picture #5 for size reference. Plants have more growth. Some plants are bigger than seen in the picture.
