What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Halo Mixed Hollyhock is easily established from an early indoor start or direct garden sowing.
-
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors in a quality soilless growing medium during March for first-year blooms. Maintain a cool germination temperature of 18°C throughout the 21 to 28 day germination period. Avoid higher temperatures, as excess heat lowers germination success. Grow on under lights before hardening off and transplanting outdoors after spring frost danger passes.
-
Outdoor Direct Sowing: Direct sow seed outdoors in sunny garden beds anytime from May through August.
-
Spacing & Care: Space mature plants 75 cm apart in well-drained soil in a full-sun location. Provide protection from strong winds or stake plants if positioned in exposed areas.
