INCLUDES:
20 HOLLYHOCK SEEDS OF CHOICE COLOR OR SPECIES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR GERMINATION.
1. Seed Selection: Choose high-quality hollyhock seeds from a reputable supplier or harvest them from healthy plants if you have them.
2. Timing: Hollyhock seeds are best sown indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. This allows them to establish before transplanting them outdoors.
3. Preparation of Planting Medium: Use a well-draining potting mix or seed starting mix. Fill seed trays or small pots with the planting medium, leaving some space at the top.
4. Sowing Seeds: Place 1-2 hollyhock seeds in each pot or cell of the seed tray. Press the seeds gently into the soil, but do not bury them too deep; a light covering of soil is sufficient.
5. Moisture: Water the soil thoroughly after planting to ensure that it is evenly moist. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to damping off, a fungal disease that affects seedlings.
6. Covering: Optionally, you can cover the seed trays or pots with a plastic dome or clear plastic wrap to create a mini-greenhouse effect, which helps to maintain humidity levels.
7. Temperature and Light: Place the seed trays in a warm location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Hollyhock seeds germinate best at temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
8. Germination Time: Keep an eye on the seeds, as germination typically takes 10-14 days, although it can sometimes take longer.
9. Transplanting: Once the seedlings have developed true leaves and are large enough to handle, usually after 6-8 weeks, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the garden. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them.
10.Outdoor Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for planting hollyhocks outdoors. Space the plants about 18-24 inches apart to allow for their mature size.
11.Care: Water the newly transplanted seedlings regularly to keep the soil evenly moist until they become established. Once established, hollyhocks are relatively low-maintenance but may benefit from occasional fertilization and deadheading to promote continuous blooming.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully germinate hollyhock seeds and grow healthy plants.

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
The germination rate of hollyhock seeds can vary depending on various factors such as seed quality, environmental conditions, and the specific variety of hollyhock. In optimal conditions, hollyhock seeds typically have a germination rate of around 60-80%.
However, it's important to note that hollyhock seeds can be somewhat unpredictable, and germination rates may vary. Factors such as freshness of the seeds, soil temperature, moisture levels, and light conditions can all influence germination success.
To maximize the germination rate of hollyhock seeds, it's recommended to use fresh, high-quality seeds, provide consistent moisture and warmth during the germination period, and ensure adequate light levels for germination. Additionally, scarifying or stratifying the seeds (depending on the variety) can sometimes improve germination rates by breaking seed dormancy.
