Hollyhock Alcea ficifolia ‘Aunt Brownie Fig' this is its 12 year gets rust be otherwise does well

very pretty

thanks

love them denise, i took mine out last year cause of rust at the end, but have more this year so may try leaving them in ;o)

Someone said on here in the last couple of weeks to expect rust but that it does no real harm?

no it just doesnt look nice thats all, say to remove leaves and bin them, its when it gets into roots its not good and ground, this year mine look ok up to now

Yes I always remove the affected leaves.
