Hollyhocks – They’ll Grow Anywhere!

Talk about a rock and a hard place!
As you can see, Hollyhocks will grow just about anywhere!

This is what it ends up looking like. I think it’s a Double Chaters, but the seeds were shared with me from a friend, and it’s not the maroon variety, but a really hot pink colour, so I’m not entirely sure about that.
It’s almost 7 feet tall. Everytime the wind blew, I was checking to make sure it didn’t snap because I wanted it to produce more seeds so I could collect them!

A better (somewhat), close-up of the flowers. Kind of like pom-poms!

Another one growing between the cracks! This one has a bit more space.

Hollyhock was once the most popular flower in gardens across North America, and is most certainly back in vogue today! So Easy to grow. Hardy to Zone 3 USDA.

Thanks for visiting. Happy Spring!
