When to Sow Hollyhock Seeds in NZ?

Hollyhock seeds grow best when sown in New Zealand during late winter to early spring or late summer to early autumn. Soil should be fairly warm to support quick germination. Sow seeds in trays indoors before transplanting outdoors once plants are large enough. As a biennial, it’s important to remember that Hollyhock seeds need to be sown the year before their desired flowering, as they reach maturity the second season from planting. Kings Seeds provides expert growing advice and quality hollyhock seeds, making it easy for gardeners nationwide to successfully grow beautiful hollyhock flowers.

Can Hollyhocks Grow in Pots?

Hollyhocks can grow in pots if containers are large enough to support their tall growth. Choose deep pots with good drainage to accommodate their long roots. Regular watering and feeding are essential, as potted plants dry out faster than those in open beds. Support stakes help hollyhocks remain upright in windy conditions. Compact varieties may suit containers best, while taller types thrive better in garden borders and beds. 

Where is the best place to plant hollyhocks?

Hollyhocks thrive in sunny, sheltered spots with well-drained soil. Plant hollyhock seedlings along fences, walls, or at the back of borders to show off their tall stems without shading smaller plants. These flowers grow best with protection from strong winds, which can damage stems and blooms. Adding organic compost can help enrich the soil, helping seedlings establish properly and produce long-lasting flowers. Hollyhock seedlings planted in slightly alkaline ground often perform strongly, producing vibrant displays. We recommend choosing visible areas where their height adds impact, creating traditional cottage charm in your garden. With the right placement, hollyhocks can flourish for many seasons and keep your garden looking vibrant and colourful.
