Hollyhock – Alcea rosea

            These lovely plants are not seen very often these days but when I was a child they were very popular and seen in many gardens.  The plant can grow up to 9 feet tall and are quite good at camouflaging fences and garden walls.  They enjoy being in full sun and moist, rich and well drained soil, if you are planting seeds you need to sow them about one week before the first frost appears and the seeds only need to be sown about 1/4ins below the soil and they need to be about 2 feet apart.  They do not need a lot of care and they do reseed themselves, but to prolong the flowering time it would help to remove the faded flowers.
