I just put in a beautiful Hollyhock called ‘Blackberry Ripple’ and because it didn’t flower but had beautiful foliage I almost took it out. Thank God for KZread I found with a little research it is a biennial and it is building up its roots and forming foliage this year and will flower next year. So needless to say, it’s a keeper. I’m loving the fact that you can take seed from it. Learning so much. Thanks for sharing.

Ooooooo…. 💜Just looked up that color - it’s going to be so pretty for you! So you must collect the seeds when it does finally flower. Super exciting

I’m glad to see this. I live in USA and have never done hollyhocks but will start tomorrow

Big hello to the USA from Denmark :) Hollyhocks (here in our climate) are really easy to grow, hope they are in yours, too :)

I love your humble presentation style and all your helpful information. You demonstrate every step with care. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Nancy! Big hello from Denmark.

I just filled them directly into the ground in March and they grow very well along my fence. I have lots of them now and they’re beautiful all kinds of colors they love full sun they love moisture at their feet.

Fantastic video I LOVE your style and your garden looks amazing! I think I missed my chance to get my seedlings growing last autumn, so hoping that I’m in good time to plant some seeds outside now, the frost has stopped in England now so fingers crossed Thank you ☺️

Hollyhocks are such lovely plants as they give height to a border. I have one that is black and looks great with my yellow ones. Your English is amazing Lars. Did you learn it in school?

Every time I try to collect Hollyhock seeds from plants that grow along the streets there are cute little insects with tube snouts that hatch out of the seeds. Do you know what those are? I wish I could get some non-infested seeds. I found this to be the case in Germany and also Switzerland too. Another problem I have encountered is that I tried to sow the seeds directly and nothing came up. I feel like these are hard plants even though it says they are easy!

@perennial-garden

They could be hollyhock weevils... the adults overwinter in those and have babies in them, too. Not so great. Have you tried sowing them in a pot or container first?.... instead of directly in the garden. You might have better luck that way, since you can control the process more.

Hollyhock weevil, yes! That is exactly what they are, they are so cute. I'll try directly sewing, thanks! @@perennial-garden

Can u start them in the spring?

@perennial-garden

Yes you can presow them indoors here in end March/april and let them adjust to the cooler tempetures slowly. You can also sow them outdoors in a greenhouse in end March/april. You should already have them flower this season, if you sow them early enough.

Unfortunately, we get rust on ours so can’t grow them anymore. They are prolific self-seeders. Very statuesque!

Dont water on the plant. Water at roots. If leaves get wet could cause rust. I dont water plants where water geys on leaves. Only at bottom.
