When should I grow hollyhocks from seeds

Question

I want to grow hollyhocks in pots on my terrace garden. Can someone guide me as to what whether I should grow them from seeds? Also, how deep should the pot be so it has enough soil to grow?

Answer 1

Yes, you can grow Hollyhock in containers, but you will need quite large pots to grow this tall flowering biennial.
They can grow 5 to 6 feet tall. A good container would be a half whiskey barrel or something in that size range.

Here is a link with growing information.
