How long do they bloom for? What do they look like when they aren't blooming?
I've looked at pictures of them and they looked so pretty....hhhmmmm, if they only bloom for a short time, maybe I don't want to plant them in my garden....
If you look at that picture I had planned on planting 1-3 of them in that corner there on the left.

They each take up about 2' square. The stalks start falling over (of course it could be the wind here) and then dry and brown. And they are as big around as your thumb at least. Last year I planted a Rose of Sharon - hibiscus which I like much better. They are much neater and have some pretty colors.

Rose of Sharon although this isn't a good picture. Oh, and these aren't mine.

Anyway, in the picture of the hollyhocks, imagine the leaves half eaten by bugs and the stocks brown and falling over. :) That's my garden.
