Hollyhock - Double Champagne Seeds
Hollyhocks are best direct-seeded in early spring or late fall. They can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks prior to your last frost date.
Soak seeds overnight before sowing. Press seeds into the soil and cover lightly. Keep moist until germination in ~14-21 days.
Transplant after your last frost date into a sunny location, with plants 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) apart. Plants may benefit from support, but not required.
