FAQ about Hollyhock – White

What kind of soil suits hollyhocks best?
Hollyhocks thrive in free-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot, for example against a wall, and dig in compost before planting.
How often should hollyhocks be watered?
Water deeply once or twice a week depending on the weather, and more often in dry spells. Always water at the root and keep the leaves dry, as wet foliage encourages rust. A mulch around the plant helps keep the soil moist.
Do hollyhocks need pruning or support?
Deadhead to prolong flowering, and cut the flower stems down after flowering unless you want to collect seed. Tall plants may need staking in windy spots.
Which pests and diseases affect hollyhocks?
Hollyhock rust is the most common problem, showing as orange-brown pustules on the undersides of the leaves. Remove affected leaves straight away and ensure good air circulation. Aphids and slugs can also attack young plants.
How do hollyhocks overwinter?
The hollyhock is usually biennial or a short-lived perennial. It forms a rosette of leaves in the first year and flowers in the second. The rosettes are hardy and overwinter outdoors. Let some flower stems ripen so that the plant self-seeds and new plants come up.
