    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Blooms so huge they absolutely dwarf the flowers of other Hollyhocks! Single and 6" across, they're variable in color from mid-pink to brightest clear red. Everyone will want to know how in the world you grow your flowers that big! Grow them in rich, loamy soil, of course. Bees, hummers and butterflies! To 6-8' tall. Self sows!
