RE: black hollyhocks

I want seeds!!!!! ME TOO, ME TOO!

I bought some iris two/three years ago. Right before I moved to Oklahoma. I barely had time to get them in the ground before snow hit (we moved in October). The worst snow/ice storm since 1978. Months of ice and snow. They barely made it. Last year, I moved them and lifted them some because they did not bloom. WELL...they ALL bloomed this year. I have one that is SO dark purple it looks black. So lovely. And I bought one called "Jesse's Song"....beautiful. This year all my perennials are doing FAB!!
