Beautiful! Cute pup! I need more Hollyhock in my life. The doubles are SO pretty! How do you handle the ‘rust’ that they sometimes get? Maybe your drier air helps with that?
I don’t get rust on my Hollyhocks - I do get that on my roses in the spring. I use hollyhocks to cover up my back fence and the back end of my neighbor’s garage that abuts my property.
I planted those hollyhocks from a six pack from the local nursery - I’m still hoping to get a yellow one.
