It is a beautiful colour - How do you manage with the rust problem Denise? It's that problem that puts me off having a go with them.

I have almost no rust on this one and on the modern ones, which are now sold as rust free.
However, my Hollyhock Alcea ficifolia ‘Aunt Brownie Fig’ is about 12 years old and a large plant it flowers in profusion year after year but until this year its always had bad rust I just remove the affected leaves and enjoy it which tend to be the lower ones. Strangely this year it has had very little rust Pt.

Thats a shame Gudia - but we cannot grow some of the lovely flowers you can grow

and caring for your plants like you do.

Very nice D...

Thanks Crissue.

Yes it is and thank you Katarina,I think it is very beautiful too.
