No, hollyhocks do not need deadheading for they are not a woody stemmed plant, nor are they an annual. Let them turn to seed and either collect the seed for next year, or just let them drop to the ground.
No real trick there, just pop the dead bloom off just below the bloom.
Petunias are actually a bit easier than a lot of flowers, for them in most cases you can just pluck the bloom itself.
Some annual flowers benefit from deadheading while others do not need it at all. It depends upon the variety of annual plant.
Hollyhocks can grow up to 4 ft.
Nora planted Hollyhocks, snapdragons, and poppies. :) Hope that helps!

I take just the spent blooms being careful to not damage current or immature blooms. If all the blooms on a "frond" are dead, I take them all in one cut about midway along the stems. Buddleia is fairly resilient. You would really need to be aggressive to cause significant trauma to the plant. It's easy to keep the plant in check while deadheading. If you see a limb that is out of control take it off during deadheading.
In the falling action of "The Sound of the Hollyhocks," the narrator reflects on the memories and emotions associated with the sound of hollyhocks being crushed underfoot. This moment symbolizes the passing of time, growth, and change, as well as the bittersweet nature of nostalgia. It also signifies a shift in the narrative towards resolution and closure.
He planted poppies, snap dragons, and hollyhocks.
A deadhead truck has a trailer attached but carries no freight. Deadheading means driving a cargo carrying truck (semi-truck) pulling an empty trailer. Deadheading often happens when a trucker returns or backhauls the empty cargo container to the point of origin. Be careful not to confuse “deadheading” with “bobtailing,” which happens when driving a cargo carrying truck without a trailer attached.
Hollyhocks do tend to sprawl due to their height, and also are prone to wind damage. Planting near a wall helps to alleviate both of these problems.
In Canada ( and possibly US) it is a trucker's term meaning travelling with no cargo.
