Hollyhocks

[mothhawk]

Mine have a little bit of rust, but they are in a very dry corner, ( the ground has inch wide cracks in it ATM) that also catches a lot of wind. They put themselves here, it wasn't planned. I think this combination keeps them clean. I've tried growing them elsewhere but the combination of rich and moist soil means they succumb to rust even before they start to flower.

Very nice. You are fortunate as I find them impossible to grow. They are still stunted and impossible to get rid of rust. Just planted it out in the garden but I doubt it will do anything now.

Absolute beauties, MH. Gorgeous colours and such a range of shapes. And so vigorous too. No wonder you're pleased. Congratulations.

Yes, it's amazing what cluelessness and neglect can achieve sometimes!

At the allotments one plot holder has allowed a yellow one to grow on semi wild.
At ground level it looks like a hard wood tree stump.

Wow!…most impressive
They look really healthy compared to my rusty, nibbled ones.
Well done.

( I absolutely love the second one )

Here's some pics of my hollyhocks that have all come from the plain pale pink ones I had last year.
