Summary
THESE wonderful cottage garden favourites grow to around 1.8 metres, towering above lavender and catmint, and produce tall spires of flowers in a variety of colours from July to September.
In the 19th century, the hollyhock was almost wiped out by rust disease - today there are only a few varieties available, and it's best to go for single colours. Good types include A rosea 'Nigra', which is a deep burgundy and single, while 'Chater's Double Group' is one of the tallest, at 1.8m to 3m, with peony-type flowers in pink, apricot, red, crimson, salmon, pale yellow and white.See the full content of this document
