How to plant your hollyhock - useful tips
Some plants like to stay in the same place for years, others do not like it well, and transplanting is often necessary when reshaping the garden. Fortunately, hollyhock is not too sensitive in this regard.
Find the perfect location
Hollyhocks also thrive in partial shade, but they prefer a full sun. There they are also better protected from the dreaded malvenrost and other diseases. By the way, some varieties are inherently more resistant than others. A permeable and relatively nutrient-rich soil gets the hollyhock very well. You can easily loosen it up with a little gravel or coarse sand and add missing nutrients with a regular fertilizer.
The right time to transplant
Not all hollyhocks should be transplanted at the same time, the ideal time depends on the age of the plant and the way you preferred it. If you have sown your hollyhocks in the field, it is best to plant them in their new location in the autumn. It has enough time to grow up to winter and is tough enough to hibernate there.
Indoor rose honeys should be planted out in May. Before, slowly get the sensitive plants into the fresh air and the sun.For this, put the hollyhocks in the garden for a few hours during the day. When the time of night frosts is over, put the plants in the well prepared bed. Put some organic fertilizer in the planting hole, for example compost or rotted manure.
