Hello again Donna,
Hollyhocks grow even better than weeds. They will be filling 3 gallon pots
by this fall and needing water almost every day. If it were me I would
plant them and let the roots get out into the soil. Around here they are
referred to as outhouse plants. They were always planted around and used to
hide the old outhouses. They will take the heat. Humidity may cause some
powdery mildew and they are a favorite of Japanese beetles.
Each to his/her own, but I would plant them and water when needed.
