Re: black hollyhocks

In my yard, the bugs don't get a chance - the deer get to the hollyhocks first! I don't have skeleton leaves, I have no leaves. But they carefully leave every stem intact!

the pink one is stunning, too, donna, but my experience with

hollyhocks

[when i lived where they would also] was that every bug in creation

chewed

on them and they became quite tattered by summer. is that not the case

in

your area? or has someone invented a bug-resistant hollyhock?
