Learn about Double Red Hollyhock flowering time, seed germination, and plant care.
Many hollyhocks are biennial and produce foliage during the first growing season before flowering in the second. Some varieties may bloom in their first year when started early. Flowering time depends on the variety, sowing date, and growing conditions.
Provide good air circulation, space plants appropriately, and water at the base rather than over the leaves. Remove and discard infected foliage promptly. Avoid overcrowding and keep the growing area clean to help reduce the spread of hollyhock rust.
Double Red Hollyhocks can grow approximately 5–8 feet tall, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Their tall flower spikes make them suitable for the back of flower borders and planting along fences or walls. Staking may be necessary in windy locations.
