Hollyhocks need light to germinate, so barely cover them with soil, just enough so the birds won't get them. You can start them in pots and then transplant them, even if they are a little taller than 2 inches. It is when you transplant them from your garden that you should try to keep them small. I'm happy to send you seeds from my most special and beautiful. And yes, purchase the empty lot next door, give yourself a little extra room.<br />Cheers, GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-17110351116753122622011-08-08T14:17:11.600-06:002011-08-08T14:17:11.600-06:00You know, Gina, I have never grown hollyhocks. Gee...You know, Gina, I have never grown hollyhocks. Geez! Why in the world not? So you think I should place the seeds directly in the ground or start them and transplant before 2" tall?<br /><br />I believe we need to purchase the empty lot next to us to do this.

Because Hollyhocks are biennial, they will probably not be too showy this year...but wait for next year and they will surprise you with their beauty. In the meantime, plant new seeds, they do best from seed but it does take two years and then, sadly, they go on a decline.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-59754592160254332732011-08-06T07:07:03.510-06:002011-08-06T07:07:03.510-06:00Hi Shirley, Don't give up on Hollyhocks...next...Hi Shirley, Don't give up on Hollyhocks...next time it might just work.

I'm speechless. What beauty everywhere. Truly, a fine masterpiece of garden know-how. <br />Try a new spot for your hollyhocks and give them plenty of water. Water from the bottom. Salpiglossis are very temperamental. They like cooler temperatures and new soil every year. But they are worth the extra trouble. <br />Thank you for your visit and I enjoyed my visit to your beautiful garden.<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-85182708314636364612011-08-06T06:59:26.689-06:002011-08-06T06:59:26.689-06:00Hi Barb-Bella, Thank you so much for your visit an...Hi Barb-Bella, Thank you so much for your visit and compliments.
