Alcea rosea 'Chater's Double Group White'

Looks like the hollyhocks are making a comeback. First time for these last year, so wasnt sure if they came back.

Hollyhock fighting its way through southerland gold.

Great colour combo Dave 😍😍

Doing well.

More flowers on the way

Wow 😮

Beautiful

I think these hollyhocks can give the gunnera a run for their money growth wise 😮

A first for me this year. Seems to be doing well .

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co wow that looks happy 😄

Ive got 4 michelle, that one's way better than the other 3, dont know why 🤔 @mch29

Me too Lin. My neighbour had them last year and they were in flower most of the summer, so hopefully they'll look good @linfoster

Wished id got these last year , so got a couple from homebase.

I got the Double Red last week, not grown them before 😀 won't tell you how much I paid for it though 😂😂

My next door neighbour has them sarah. They get to about 8ft tall and flowered most of summer . @sieveheadsarah

Think I'll get some more next time I pass Homebase, I also collected some seeds from one that was poking out of someone's front garden last Autumn, hopefully they'll grow.

and if you're soil is right and you let them seed about you can have an amazing display in a few years. We have well draining chalky soil where I live and Hollyhocks seem to love it. I let them seed about and the new plants flower in their second year. 🌱
