Digging Up Hollyhocks for Propagation -WaY Out Here

In this video, we share how we dig up little hollyhock plants to give away or relocate. We have done this many times and the hollyhocks usually always take to their new location. Dig up more than you think you need just in case you lose one or two.

We are in agriculture zone 4b, also called the plant hardiness zone. Hollyhocks are really easy to grow in this zone. In the fall, after the flowers die off, we cut off the stalks. That's it, and they come back every spring! Hollyhocks are rated for hardiness zones 3 - 8.

Plants are special and sharing them with others is even more special!

You have such a relaxing presenting style, I feel like I'm out in the country watching this

Oh dah'lin...NEVER be sorry about the dog. Your doggie is just supervising and keeping you company. My cat does the same thing.

My aunt had holyhocks in her garden. My cousin and I would pick a full bloom and one that was just budding out. Leave a little stem on the bud. Poke a hole in the base of the full bloom and make holyhock dolls. My aunt would get so mad. But once in a while we did it anyway.

The small round leaves look like the ground cover weed creeping Charlie

Thank you for the video. We live in Ontario Canada and are into our second season of growing. We have our first crop f plants that bloomed .
We have them along the garage. When is a good time of year to relocate the first-year plants? I notice you have lots of leaves on your plants, I think I have over-tended ours after reading about removing dead leaves and leaves with rust . Have you got any suggestions for a newbie?

Hi! Do we need to pinch the plant when they are still seeding to promote more branches? Tnx! 🍀

Are these from seeds that fell to the ground or are they from an existing plant that is sending up a plants from it's roots? Thank you.

I don’t seem to be able to get hollyhocks to grow for me. I have used seeds, I have bought plants. Nothing seems to work. I live in 7a . Do you have any suggestions ?. I know these will grow in my area because years ago at another house I had beautiful plants.
