Alcea rosea 'Nigra'

Hollyhock looking promising 😊

EXCITING

@faeflowers This looks really heal the with no disease or pests. I really like hollyhock but they always develop leaf rust which just spoils them. Some have died off others are just surviving. We'll see later 👍🏻

@angipangi I have lots and lots of pests, these were covered in black fly and green fly, I also seem to have the worlds largest Roman snail collection 😄 I don't use any pest control just rely on the house sparrows and black birds and other critters and keep my fingers crossed! I think rust is caused by damp conditions but not had to deal with it here thankfully 😊👍
