Hollyhocks take around 10-24 days to germinate and then another 3-4 weeks before they're ready for pricking out.
Hollyhocks are easy to grow and their blooms come in a wide range of jewel colours, flowering from early summer to autumn.
Their tall spires look good grown against walls and fences and are stalwarts of cottage gardens.
Hollyhocks can be cut for bouquets and you can even add the petals to salads or crystallise for cake decorations.
