How successful have you been growing hollyhocks from seed? I planted the seeds according to package directions. It says to keep them in a shady location until fall and then plant them in full sun. They sprouted several weeks ago but have shown no growth since. I don't expect them to flower until the second year, but I did expect steady growth. |

Are hollyhocks true from seed? |

I've been growing them from seed and they're sitting out in full sun pretty much since they got their 2nd or 3rd "real" leaves. I have considered moving them into part shade during the high temps and drought, but so far they seem to be doing quite well and are about 10 inches high now. |

Wow...love that colour Vegemm! If you're harvesting the seeds later and have some spare, I'll trade you some - I have some yellow with pink throats, dark purple/black and deep maroon pink hollyhock seeds. Actually i think I have other colours too, but can't remember off the top of my head. Maybe I need to start an inventory of my seeds on the computer. Hmmmmm...
