Wow, look great, mine are still in bud.

There's not so many this year Dawn some have died old age I suspect, the ground is very hard gravel here leading to the garage ,I'm going to grow some more from seed ..

I think I've lost mine gradually too, like you say, get some more growing from seed and the colour goes on.

A lovely sight with the wall as a perfect backdrop.
My two hollyhocks, bought last year, have failed to appear this year - another of my flops!!!

I do love these plants, but we cannot grow them, so will admire yours Amy instead.

A beautiful display,Amy,and a nice backdrop against your wall..I do like that,,with the arch..:o) x

What a shame Chris / Angela, thanks Sandra our soil is right for them we have coastal villages where they grow up every path and passageway its well worth going for a walk round them just to look at the hollyhocks ...

Mine have disappeared too, yours make such a lovely feature against the wall;0)

I love Holly hocks Amy. They look gorgeous !

I'm sure I planted some hollyhock seeds but goodness knows what happened to them! Yours are lovely, Amy.

They look fabulous Amy.

I love hollyhock, these look great. I noticed yesterday the still unbuilt on plot next to us has a huge clump which must have seeded from my garden, they look better than mine!!!

Thank you all , they do strangely seem to come and go they need to be replaced from time to time , Kathy its usually the way of it , funny isn't it Lol ..
