Care Guide

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get the most out of your Double Purple Hollyhock.

  • 3. Fertilize your Double Purple Hollyhock every four to six weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.
  • 4. Cut back the stems of your Double Purple Hollyhock in late autumn when the flowering season is over. This will help to keep them from becoming too tall and unruly.
  • 5. Mulch around the base of your Double Purple Hollyhock in late winter to help keep the soil cool and moist.
  • 6. If your Double Purple Hollyhock becomes too tall, you can trim it back in late spring to keep it under control.
  • 7. To ensure the health of your Double Purple Hollyhock, remove any diseased or dead leaves throughout the growing season.

With just a few easy steps, you can keep your Double Purple Hollyhock looking beautiful and thriving all season long.
