Violet Hollyhocks

Two years ago I bought four different kinds of Hollyhocks but for some reason they don't grow the next year for me. When my Aunt sold her house and transferred to Florida the person who bought her property cleaned up her property and that means all her flowers and trees are gone! Good thing hubby and I went to visit the place and there it was a violet hollyhocks  trying to survive. So I asked the new owner if I could get the flower and he told me I could get what ever I want. I digged up ms violet hollyhocks and planted it to my flower garden. This year I notice (again) hollyhocks do not grow good in my area but then just this month I saw three of them started to grow and give flowers. Then I observed the plants has different  shades one is light and has white color at the edge and the other one is deep in color and the edge has no white. Really nice to look around my flower garden and admire there beauty.

  2. Such a pretty Hollyhock, so happy you were able to save this one. By the way Hollyhock's are Biennials which means they only bloom every other year.
