Establishing Musk Mallow from flower seeds is very rewarding. To get a jump start on the growing season, you can certainly sow the seeds indoors or in the greenhouse 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost date. Use starter trays and quality starter mix and sow the Musk Mallow seeds on the surface, pressing them into the soil to make good contact. Keep them consistently moist. Sowing the flower seeds directly outdoors is an option as well. Prepare soil bed, sow the seeds on the surface and dust over them very lightly with loose garden soil. Keep the flower seeds moist until germination has occurred. Young Mallow plants can be transplanted or even moved to other positions in the garden. This particular variety will flower the first year! During the bloom season, water Mallow plants well and fertilize. After bloom season, cut back the stalks hard, down to just 3 - 4 inches above ground. Depending on your location and growing season, the plants may come back for a second bloom in late summer or early fall.

Hollyhocks are edible and can be made into syrup or crystallised for cake decoration, and are perfect for pollinators too.

From the breeding work of Thompson & Morgan, Halo is a new series of hollyhocks that was 16 years in the making. These varieties were selected and hybridized over many generations for their large, single, bicolor flowers. Each displays a prominent, contrasting lighter or darker colored halo in the center of the flower.

Establishing hollyhocks from flower seeds is very rewarding. To get a jump start on the growing season, you can sow seeds indoors or in the greenhouse 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost date.
