Close up of Double Red Hollyhock (Alcea)

Nearly there.

Oh yes. I'm thinking its a double because of the size of the buds. Also it was with the double whites. Gina actually spotted it at the back as she knew I was after one!

This is going to be a stunner by the look of it. :o)))

Oh I do hope so. Was like a pig in muck when Gina spotted this at the back of the double white hollyhocks. Only £2.50 aswell. I'd happily paid full money for it but wasn't going to tell them that! lol

grew hollyhocks a couple of seasons ago,very tall but prone to fungal infection!

Yes i've heard that Keith. Hopefully will be able to keep an eye on it. Hopefully there is a treatment you can use to avoid this happening! Going to speak to my local nursery at the weekend!
