How to Grow Galilee Hollyhock:
Hollyhock seeds may be started outdoors or indoors, but do best when sown directly into the garden soil where you'd like them to grow. Hollyhocks require rich, well-drained soil. Be sure that the spot chosen for your hollyhocks will receive at least six hours of direct sunshine daily.
There are two times of year that hollyhock seeds may be planted in most gardening zones: spring and fall. The recommended planting time is fall in warmer regions. They need temperatures around 59 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit in order to germinate.
Be sure to leave the seeds on the surface of the soil, or just sprinkle them very lightly with soil or compost. Hollyhock seeds need light in order to germinate, so if you plant them too deeply, they won't sprout.
