Mary,
No charge. With the number of orders I'm getting, some postage
refunds may be helpful, but this is just my way to share the excess
seeds I get from these babies. These are singles, the older type of
hollyhocks, which I've found far more vigorous and reliable than the
later doubles. And I just like the simple form. In roses too. I've
been getting virtually 100% germination with these seeds.
You're on the list.
