Alcea rosea is a biennial plant, meaning it takes two years to complete its life cycle. In the first year, the plant will produce foliage and a rosette of leaves at the base. In the second year, the plant will produce its flower stalks and blooms.
Alcea rosea is relatively easy to grow from seed. Simply sow the seeds directly in the garden in early spring or late fall. The seeds will germinate in about 7-10 days. Once the seedlings have emerged, thin them to 12-18 inches apart.
Alcea rosea prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water the plants regularly, especially during hot weather. Fertilize the plants every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
Alcea rosea is a relatively low-maintenance plant, but it is important to deadhead the flowers regularly to encourage new growth. Also, be sure to protect the plants from frost and cold weather.
