He’s in pollen heaven 😅

The #hollyhock is nearer to 6 ft tall now and flowers popping out all over. Really glad I've grown these. Definitely will do them again 😀

@gardengirlla I'll be leaving them well alone then 😀

Starting to flower. Looking great! #hollyhock #grownfromseed

The white one is lovely with the scalloped edges 💛

#hollyhock showing signs of #colour

#hollyhock has really put on some height after the rain. #grownfromseed

It looks gigantic, how tall is it??

@sieveheadsarah nearly 5ft. The others I've planted about 3ft..

Wow, you must feed it well 😂😂🤔

Done nothing but cut off the flowers last year as it's supposed to just grow and flower on the second year. Must really like its position 😀

#hollyhock #grownfromseed last year and hopefully making a big push to flower #excited

#hollyhock growing very well should produce plenty of flowers next year #grownfromseed

Grown from #seed this year and starting to #flower I'm sure I read about removing the flowers this year to build up the #plant is this true? #advice-hollyhock

I read exactly the same Matt 👍🏼👍🏼

@sieveheadsarah I'm glad someone else has read it too 😊 cheers!
