Hollyhocks - Tall and Majestic Alcea Rosea      Hollyhocks are biennial plants which can grow 1 to 3 meters high and sometimes even taller.  They grow well in full sun and are fairly drought resistant. Seedpods & Seeds Hollyhock seedpods develop when the flower is finished.  Leave the pod on the plant to dry.  Seeds are arranged inside the pod.  Be sure to let some seeds drop naturally into the garden so that your new hollyhock plants will grow the following year.  Sow seeds in the fall for new plants next spring.  To ensure a continuous growth and bloom of hollyhocks you must sow seeds for 2 consecutive years and then be sure to let the seeds self sow after each bloomining. Print 1 or 2 seed packets for hollyhock seeds. Print 1 or 6 seed labels for hollyhock seeds. The Gardens ~ Seeds & Plants ~ craftygardener.ca Please sign or view the guestbook.
