Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate.

Space Alcea plants 18-24 inches apart in garden beds or containers, depending on the desired density of planting.
Care and Maintenance:
Water Alcea plants regularly, particularly during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots.
Provide support for tall varieties by staking or using plant supports to prevent them from bending or breaking.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.
Monitor for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and leaf spots, and treat as necessary using organic methods.
Where flowers bloom, so does hope.
Happy gardening!
