How to Grow Hollyhock Peach from Seed

Growing hollyhock peach, a classic English cottage garden beauty, is quite straightforward.

for flowers in their first year: Start by sowing the seeds indoors or in a greenhouse in February/March. This will help germinate the seeds, after which you can grow them in cooler conditions until the seedlings are large enough to plant outside once the frost has passed. If sown early, these hollyhocks may start to flower by the end of summer.

You can also sow the seeds in summer in seed trays and plant them out at the end of summer for early summer flowering the following season. Due to their tall and heavy flowers, you might need to support them, especially in areas exposed to strong winds. This is the most recommended option!

With these steps, you can enjoy the beautiful peach hollyhocks gracing your garden with their tall, elegant blooms.
