Hollyhocks Growing Season In India
You can sow hollyhock seeds in spring (February to March) or early summer (April). Additionally, you can also plant hollyhock seeds in October-November.

How To Grow Hollyhocks In Containers 
Sow hollyhock flower seeds directly in pots/grow bags, in the garden or by seedling transplant method, but they do not grow well with transplants because they have long taproots. The optimum temperature for hollyhock seed germination is 18-24°C. This is a dwarf variety of hollyhock so you can plant them in a 22-36 cm wide and deep pot or grow bag.

Hollyhocks Seeds Sowing Method 
Take a pot, fill it with potting mix soil and sow hollyhock flower seeds 0.5 cm deep. Place the pot in a sunny spot as hollyhock seeds need light to germinate. Water the soil and keep the soil moist till germination; hollyhock seeds will germinate in 7-14 days. 

Best Fertilizer For Hollyhocks 
Hollyhocks grow excellently in nutrient-rich soil and do not require fertilizer in fertile soil. But if you grow them in poor soil, you should amend them with organic matter (vermicompost or cow manure) during the spring season and every few weeks during the blooming period.

Hollyhocks Plants Care Tips 
Soil : Hollyhocks prefer well-drained, rich and moist soil. If you grow them in poor soil your plant will not bloom well and the leaves will turn yellow.
Sunlight : It grows best in full sun and can tolerate partial shade. But the hollyhocks growing in the shade tends to be leggy and produce fewer flowers. Therefore, growing in the shade during the hot summer is best.
Water : Hollyhocks prefer consistent soil moisture in the early stages and once established they are drought-tolerant so water only when the soil is dry.
Temperature : The optimum day temperature for growing hollyhocks flower is 18-24°C while the night temperature is 13-18°C. 
Common pests and diseases : Some pests such as slugs, snails, spider mites and Japanese beetles disturb hollyhock growth. Apart from pests, the main problem for it is fungal diseases, which spread very fast. This can cause leaf drop, discoloration, and stunted growth. Remove infected plant parts to prevent the spread of the disease and water carefully.
Mulching : A thin layer of organic mulch is good to protect plants from extreme cold during the winter.

When To Bloom Hollyhocks
