Tall and stately, Hollyhocks bring a romantic cottage-garden atmosphere to just about any garden setting. Wavy or fringed flowers that resemble hibiscus are surrounded by round, fuzzy green leaves. In shades of yellow, pink, red, and white, the flowers bloom from the bottom to the top of rigid spikes. Use to add height to borders and beds, or plant in clumps near porches and doorways, and along garden paths.

Hollyhocks grow best in a location that is sheltered from the wind and that receives full sun. Soil should be well-drained and either slightly alkaline or neutral. Loosen the soil to a depth of about 10″ and wider than the roots that are to be planted. Set the roots into the soil about 18-24″ apart with the bud or crown level with the soil in groups of 3 or more for the best appearance. Fill in the soil, tamp down, water thoroughly, and add a layer of mulch. Do not permit the soil to dry out, but the roots should not sit in soggy soil either. Hollyhocks can grow to heights above 4′, so staking the plants may be required.
