I'm Nuts About Hollyhocks!

Dizzy, you do have some lovely hollyhocks. They are one of my favorites, because they are so old fashion, as in the cottage garden look. That look was absent from the landscape for a number of years, but has really made a popular comeback now. That black one is spectacular!! Would love a few seeds if you have any extras! Sealed

Seeds?

Jo, this is my first time with hollyhocks; but I direct sowed the seeds in the fall, instead of the spring. I think that must have given these a huge jump start as they just went crazy.

The only plant I bought was the black one.
