How to sow hollyhock seeds

Sowing season

It is very easy to sow hollyhock seeds, and there is no need to pay special attention to the sowing time. Hollyhock seeds can be sown after they are mature between August and September. If sown at this time, they will bloom in the second year.

Sowing seeds

After the seeds are mature, choose a piece of fertile, well-breathable land (or prepare some nutrient soil), spread the seeds evenly, and cover them with a small amount of soil. Remember to water the seeds adequately when sowing for the first time.

Maintenance

The maintenance steps include watering, fertilizing and root removal.

Watering

In addition to watering it sufficiently when it is first sown, it is also necessary to water it appropriately when the hollyhock blooms to promote its normal and healthy growth.

Fertilization

All plant care is inseparable from fertilization. It should be noted that the time period for fertilization is the growth period of hollyhock seedlings. At this time, the roots of hollyhock are not fully developed and cannot absorb nutrients from the earth normally. At this time, proper fertilization can increase the survival rate of hollyhock.

Root removal

The result of root cutting is that the hollyhock will be shorter in stature. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that a short plant is not a good plant, because hollyhock itself is relatively tall, and if it is too tall it will fall over, so the purpose of root cutting is to prevent the hollyhock from falling over. Cut the roots in a cone shape around the hollyhock around June, usually every two to three weeks.
