Growing conditions

light: Full sun, minimum 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Shade will cause poor growth and reduced aroma and flavor.

Irrigation: Regular during the growing season - keep soil moist but not wet. Let the top layer (2-3 cm) dry out between waterings. Reduce in winter.

ground: Well drained and rich in organic matter. Recommended pH: 6.0-7.5. Potting soil mix with perlite and compost.

temperature: Loves heat! Sensitive to frost - should be protected below 4°C. Deciduous - sheds leaves in winter (this is normal!). Bring inside or cover before the winter.

elk: Balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring-fall). Avoid over-fertilizing.

Professional tip

Don't be alarmed when the hollyhock sheds its leaves in winter - it looks like a dry branch but it's perfectly fine! Wait until late spring before you decide to throw it away, as it takes a while to wake up. Prune vigorously in spring when you see new buds - this will encourage denser growth and more fragrant leaves. The leaves retain their scent even when dry, so it's worth drying a stock for the winter!
