- From Ground: First, water the common hollyhock plant to dampen the soil. Then, dig a wide trench around the plant using a shovel or spade, ensuring the plant's root ball remains intact. Carefully work the spade under the root ball to lift the plant from its original location.
- From Pot: Water the common hollyhock plant to moisten the soil. Place your hand over the top of the pot, with your fingers wrapping around the base of the plant. Gently turn the pot upside-down while supporting the plant. Tap the sides of the pot to loosen the root ball and carefully remove the plant from the pot.
- From Seedling Tray: Water the common hollyhock seedlings to moisten the soil. Use a trowel or your fingers to gently loosen the soil around the seedling while supporting the plant's base. Carefully lift the seedling from the tray, being cautious not to damage the roots.
