Soil - Hollyhocks prefer well-drained, rich, and moist soil. If you grow them in poor soil your plant will not bloom well and the leaves will turn yellow.
Sunlight - It grows best in full sun and can tolerate partial shade. But the hollyhocks growing in the shade tend to be leggy and produce fewer flowers. Therefore, growing in the shade during the hot summer is best.
Water – Hollyhocks prefer consistent soil moisture in the early stages and once established they are drought-tolerant so water only when the soil is dry.
Temperature -  The optimum day temperature for growing hollyhocks flower is 18-24°C while the night temperature is 13-18°C. 
Common pests and diseases - Some pests such as slugs, snails, spider mites, and Japanese beetles disturb hollyhock growth. Apart from pests, the main problem for it is fungal diseases, which spread very fast. This can cause leaf drop, discoloration, and stunted growth. Remove infected plant parts to prevent the spread of the disease and water carefully.
Support - As the hollyhock plants grow very high, you can provide support such as a fence, wall, bamboo, or trellis. 
Mulching - A thin layer of organic mulch is good to protect plants from extreme cold during the winter.
