Hollyhock 'Antwerp mixed'

High rust resistent variety, they do still get it a bit though.

Lovely. They dont seemed to be staked are they shorter and or sturdier? I love mine but the wind snapped some off last week and I get bad rust. So wouldnt mind trying these.

What delightful colours....

Thanks:-)
They're over 6ft Drc but are in a fairly sheltered spot, never have to stake them here but do in other areas, they certainly don't get rust as bad as some I've grown, so well worth growing, theres a really lovely yellow and also a cream one.

Did you grow these from seeds Simbad?

Beautiful display and colours.

Beautiful. Mine are only about a foot tall at the moment.
Simbad: Will they come up each year?
Tommy: I would guess she's grown them from seed as she sent me some. You might guess, lol.

Thanks everyone:-), have seeded around a bit and seem to have loads of colours this year even found a white today growing among some roses!!
Yes Tommymoo did grow these from Thompson+Morgan seed.

Oooh glad you got yours going too Dawn,yes they are a perennial one.

Oh these are beautiful Kathy, and look so healthy...........

Perennial too, good, that's a bonus, lovely.

You were right Dawn LOL :)
Thanks for the info Simbad. I heard some bad things about Thompson+Morgan but maybe 50/50~ Love perennials. Gone to my favorites :)

Beautiful Simbad, I love the single ones,not keen on doubles.

Thanks :-)))
Yes I've had one lot of plants I wasn't very impressed with Tommymoo, but never any problems with seed, and the Tree Peonies were wonderful:-)

21 Jul, 2010

 

Oh I remember that! Your tree peonies were from T+M! Good to have endorsement to buy seeds from them by an expert like you :-)

Tommy: Have you started sowing yet? I've spent all afternoon potting on, takes forever but all part of growing from seed.
I've been potting on my gunnera plants that I grew from my own seed - if anyone wants gunnera seeds, please shout.

Remember you growing them Dawn, bet they're quite large now.

Hi Kathy, well, not massive, I'll keep them potted up over Winter and hope to plant out next Spring, I've counted them today, I have around 50, lol. That's fine, they can go all around the pond.

25 Jul, 2010

 

Wow 50!!!! well done Dawn they'll look great by your pond/lake,lol, they look almost prehistoric don't they:-)

25 Jul, 2010

 

I love them Kathy, I find them so fascinating.
