Planting Instructions:

  • - Water deeply and regularly during the establishment period
  • - Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings once established

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering
  • - Cut back stems to the base in late fall after flowering has finished
  • - Consider staking tall plants to prevent them from toppling in windy conditions

  • - Keep an eye out for rust, a common fungal issue with hollyhocks; remove affected leaves and provide good air circulation

BRIGHT PINK ALCEA PLANT

The plants arrived in excellent condition! I was surprised and pleased at the care GrowJoy  took in shipping the plants. The plants are growing beautifully. Look forward to doing business with you in the future.
