Hollyhock alcea rosea 'old barnyard Red'

I am supposed to have this but the buds look very peach coloured on mine.

There are several colours in Hollyhock Old Barnyard Pimpernel, which includes a Red, Yellow, Pink and a nearly black one. Next time I sow some I will get the O B mix.

Love these and aren't they huge this year with all the rain, I have a self sown one just starting to open near a pink and white rose and it's practically the same colour pink !!!!!

Yes its a good year for them Simbad. I have one that has rust very badly every year HB, but worth it as the pink flowers are lovely and lots of them.

Mine are still small! :) Nice to see what they will look like though :)

I love them Pix. My beautiful Hollyhock 'Creme De Cassis' (Double) after several years seems to have gone? I do hope not.

Aww :( hope it appears again :))

Thats a beauty, lovely red.I have a giant one gone past the top of the Clothes post now, havent a clue what colour but it is budding now it was from Amy's seeds;0)

That sounds exciting Pansy, some of my favourite plants are those given to me in some form rather than bought.

I think they are the ones you treasure most Denise;0))

indeed PP
