Lilly’s Plant of the Week- Hollyhock

Hollyhocks are a garden classic, loved for their tall, colorful blooms that appear in late summer and continue through fall. They’re perfect for sunny spots, adding vibrant color and height to any garden as a backdrop or along a fence.

Plant Hollyhocks in a spot that receives at least six hours of full sun daily. They thrive best in well-draining soil to prevent root rot, so choosing the right location is essential. Regular watering is crucial, particularly during dry spells, and applying mulch can help retain moisture around the roots. Also, since hollyhocks can grow quite tall, it’s wise to plant them near fences or walls to protect them from strong winds. With these care tips in mind, your hollyhocks will bloom beautifully and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies!
