You have to let the seed dry .
They appear in a circle like a tire.........

I will show you a photo when mine turn to a good seed, so you can see.
There are many in a circle in slics . Easy.

Keep asking me.

You plant them like any other seed, just below the soil and water. The first year you get foilage, the second year you get blooms. They are biennial. They reseed themselves.

it takes 7-21 days for the seed to germanate, then the 1st year all you will get is greeny, the second year they will bloom and they bloom in late spring/early summer

I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once.

I like the red...they are spo pretty out there all alone. Don't ask me where the yellow came from, sometimes when Ashley is bugging me for some seeds to plant I'll just giver her a hand full...maybe she planted those

Hollyhocks are great for hiding ugly stuff...see there is an old boat behind the red ones

hhmmmm...my area around the well is somewhat shady? I think? I've never really checked out that spot for planting before though.
