I'm glad to see that someone else has tried this! I posted that I left a hollyhock in a 2inch cell for the entire summer season a couple of weeks ago. I guess no one believed it. The hollyhock grew to be 2 & a half foot tall; and so were the roots. If I hadn't planted it the deer would've not eaten it right before a frost was due to come in (I lived upstate in NY at the time.) I left it in the cell, cut it off from the others so it could be put into the cell pack tray with other ones I was trying the same way; sorta like a floater plant. Yes, I did feed it with with a kelp and fish emulsion mix throughout the time it survived.
