Planting Hollyhock Roots

Question

What is the proper way to plant hollyhock roots?

Answer 1

Generally, hollyhocks are best grown from seed. However, they can also be grown from their tuberous bare root. You can place them in the ground with the pointy taproot facing down. But don't be alarmed if you accidentally place them wrong side up. Plants have an amazing ability to grow anyway.
