THE HOLLYHOCK

Is a happy flower to have in the garden. It blooms early summer and can stay until the snow flies. I have several plants with a variety of colours. My little granddaughter loves them. 
They need to be pruned especially the leaves which can obtain rust. Do you have hollyhocks in your garden? Do you like how tall and majestic they become?

I even noticed the bees like the flower. I wonder if there is a hollyhock honey flavour. What do you think?

  1. I'm a bit old fashioned, I guess, because I really like these big and bold flowers. It's a pity that so few seem to find a place in gardens these days.
