I was driving by along the road and saw 2 Hollyhocks blooming by the fence. Nobody watered them, since that place was along the road. I stopped to look at them. Checked for seeds, but it was too early. So, came back 3 weeks later when bloom was over. Collected bunch of seeds. Since they such survivors, growing 6 ft tall, in heat 95F, with no much rain and thriving, I wanted to have them in my garden😊

Your garden has that curated classical British look and it's gorgeous. I live in a steep wooded valley that looks very much like yours and yes indeed rust and all the fungal problems require a little extra attention but sweet eilliam, hollyhock, and poppies seem to be a wonderful fit. (One slightly problematic dog will cure all your problematic gopher problems ;)

I like the idea of the Hollyhocks hiding your vehicles. So pretty! I think I’ll try some next summer as you make it seem so easy! Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I love Hollyhocks, my grandma always had them. They remind me of the Wizard of Oz.. Munchkin land. My hollyhocks fell over this year too. Im bad about staking things up. I love that peach variety you bought. Im gonna have to get some of those!

[valeriewatson]

Thank you for showing all the advice !
I’m in England so hope my success is as glorious as yours! 😊🌺

Oh...stake them. I'm zone 7 and I got a volunteer hollyhock this year that I almost pulled out as a weed. SO happy I didn't because I LOVE theses creamy yellow flowers. I'll have to stake it. It's leaning against the garden fence a bit for now.

I think dark colored hollyhocks will bleed into the dark vehicle and background but lighter colors will camouflage better 💚💚💚

I've splinted swamp milkweed that bend over from being top heavy.
I splint right at the bend and it saves the stalk and the flowers.

[barbaracole]

Mine got heavy from.the sprinklers watering them, tried to.stake them couldn't get the stakes to go very deep in ground gotta do something different next summer

[blondbear]

Great video. But I do have question about blocking the fire hydrant with plants.

[felixalmeida]

You mention putting your hollyhock seeds in the freezer. Were you able to plant them then, did they germinate?
I notice you cut the rust leaves off and drop them right in the bed. Does this not infect the new hollyhocks, or the new leaves on the plant itself?

[georgiayoung]

Mine are inherited & all leaves. Few flowers

My poor hollyhock has cooked in the heat and humidity at the summer's start.

I'm guessing hollyhocks would not do well in Texas temps of 103+?
