Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Peaches 'n Dreams Hollyhock performs best with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it tolerates very light shade, full sun ensures the sturdiest stems and the most impressive double blooms.
Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil that holds moisture without becoming waterlogged. If you are working with heavy clay or loose sand, mix in organic compost to improve texture and drainage, which helps prevent root rot.

Watering Requirements

Water deeply and consistently during the first growing season to help the deep taproot establish. Once established, the plant is moderately drought tolerant, but inconsistent watering can stress the plant and lead to smaller blooms or increased susceptibility to rust. Always water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry and reduce fungal issues.

Pruning Tips

Cut the stalks down to the ground in late autumn or early spring before new growth begins to keep the plant tidy and remove overwintering pests or disease. Deadheading spent flowers immediately after blooming can encourage a second flush of color later in the season and prevents the plant from self-seeding aggressively.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a layer of compost in early spring when new growth starts to appear. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers, especially late in the season, as this encourages lush foliage at the expense of flowers and can result in weak, floppy stems.
