Well, my Delphiniums in the ground are planted about 10 inches apart and the leaves are touching now. I hope that the Hollyhocks are dwarf ones - they grow up to 8' tall in my garden! Why do you want to plant them in pots, Jacque? I would have though that they'd be top-heavy!

Thanx for that Buzbee I did put loads of sharp sand around them&i seemed to work really well then they just broke off at the bottoms& never came back? Why would they break off @ground Level?
