Wow, where do you live that your Hollyhocks are in bloom already? Ours usually don’t start blooming until July!

Thank you! I grow mine from seed. They do usually take until the 2nd year to bloom. I've had good luck with sowing new seeds in the late summer/early fall though; then the plants grow all fall and winter, and I've actually had many bloom that spring/summer
