PLANTING GUIDE:

🔘 Start Hollyhock Chocolate seed outdoors after the last spring frost or in late summer for blooming the following year.

🔘 Choose a sunny spot with partial shade and well drained soil. 

🔘 Prepare a bed for planting:  

After weeding the bed, work a 3-inch-thick layer of composted manure into the top 8 inches of soil. Break up compacted areas and till the soil thoroughly.

🔘 Sow the Hollyhock Maroon seeds on the surface of the soil. Cover seeds lightly with loose soil no more than 1/8 inch thick. Sow the seeds in groups of three, 18 to 24 inches apart.

🔘 Water the bed after sowing; keep the soil moist until germination. Allow the surface of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

🔘 Germination occurs in 21 to 28 days. 

🔘 Keep the most robust Hollyhock Double Maroon seedling and pinch the rest off at ground level.

Water Chocolate Hollyhock flower weekly to a 3-inch depth during the hot summer months at the base of the plant. Spraying water onto the leaves may cause rust (a fungal infection).

🔘 Cut off all affected leaves and stems and discard them into a green waste can.

If you want to prevent self-sowing, deadhead the plants regularly.
