Come see all the fabulous colors these stately giants come in!
There is nothing as attractive as a giant stalk covered in colorful blooms to brighten up
those drab summer days!
What a wonderful transformation!
Just a pile of dirt back in early spring 2003, this photo was taken two months later.
Plants were moved from other areas of the garden and additional seeds were planted.

Asof summer 2003, I could not even begin to count the number of hocks we have planted on our property. It's become a family joke about the hollyhocks around here! In our front yard alone we have over 100 Hollyhock plants of varied ages. Just outside the yard fencing is another 100+ plants, as well as a 25 foot wide circle bed with dozens ofestablished hocks planted in 2002, plenty of plants to be sold on our site and also on our Ebay auctions. By tons, I mean I literally broadcasted a half gallon jar of hock seeds around a 21 foot circle. Hubby was half asleep when I asked if I could plant hollyhock in the middle of the yard. He would later discover that I meant a giant field. *grin*

Photo #3 taken May 2004
April 10, 2004. I purchased several panels of white plastic lattice. If you bat your eyelashes and wink at the woodcutting attendant, he'll cut these in half for you! Okay, so you don't have to go that far, just push the assistance button, they'll be happy to help. I then used white cable ties to attach each of the lattice panels to one another, then secured them to the steel tubing supports around the Hollyhock ring. Very nice! A new picture is coming soon. In the next few weeks I'll be adding quite a few Baby's Breath plants in pink between the Hollyhocks. Wow, won't that be gorgeous when it is all in full bloom? I've also hauled in large rocks to go around the ring, leaving about a foot of space between the rocks and the plantsto enable my Craftsman tiller to fit. This helps quite a bit and keeps the weeds out. In the fall, I'll just dump chicken poop in the trough and perhaps add a bit of peat. Another update, I hauled five wheelbarrows of chicken droppings to the ring the first weekend in April. The hocks will be jumping out of the ground soon!
My gosh, the ring looks BEAUTIFUL! Filled in, lush and green with a rainbow of blooms!
Does it getany better than this??

Below are various leaf types of hollyhocks:
Freshlyplucked Hock blooms floating on water surface.
If you're having a garden party, get together or other event, or even just to please yourself, a handful of freshly plucked hollyhocks floating in thepond looks fantastic! Just pick a few fresh flowers, pat them into the water just enough to wet the undersides of the petals and they will float around your pond all night long! Great if your pond plants either haven't yet, don't, or quit flowering for the season. Add a few to your floating candles in a glass dish. Wow!
Aboveyou will see a hollyhock seedling.
As for the plants, you could even start some indoors during the winter, and if you get them out early enough, they will surprise you with early blooms and then more and more all summer long! Singles, doubles, colored centers and more are just a few of the bountiful surprises you will find the garden when growing hollyhocks.
We have many large gardens, which of course are open pollinated, so at times colors may be more intense or lighter than their parents. Seeds are harvested each summer and the remaining seeds from the previous year are spread into larger gardens here at our home in the country.
And now, just afew good sites about hollyhocks:
Ifyou have any other questions about your hocks, please do not hesitate to drop an email my way, and I'll sure try to help!
Sincerely yours,

The Hollyhock disdains the common size
of herbs, and like a tree does proudly rise.
Proud she appears, but try her and you?ll find
no plant more mild, or friendly to mankind.
She gently all obstructions doth unbind.
