Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow seeds in spring or early summer into well-drained soil or seed-raising mix. Hollyhocks prefer a sunny, sheltered position — against a warm wall or fence is ideal. Transplant seedlings to their final position in autumn, spacing 45–60 cm apart. They will establish over winter and flower the following summer. Allow a few plants to self-seed for a naturalistic cottage garden effect.
