Alcea rosea 'Nigra'

#flashbackfriday

Shall I spread these seeds now or put them away until spring? #advice #hollyhock

Sow them in the spring into their flowering position

Thanks @lesliecole49

#hollyhock These only came out to play for a couple of weeks then closed up again 😧. How long do they usually bloom for?

Mine flower for ages, wonder what's caused that

So strange Jayne, the top 3 opened and closed a few times them just never opened again. The bottom ones never opened at all ☹️@jaynehynesburton

How long have you had it

I wonder if they don't like tomato feed?

Give it a go, can't hurt. Sometimes you just get a bad plant

Denise Google flower balling, can be caused by wet weather and then sun causing the petals to fuse together

Will do thanks Jayne!

Had it about 3 months🤗

Twins🤗

That must be the blackest flower I've ever seen!♥

Nice colour 😍

Lovely to come home to 😀
