RE: Hollyhocks

Thanks,
I have ordered a catalog to peruse while lying on the couch.....one of my
favorite winter activities. I see that our own Don Martinson from Wisconsin
has contributed the Costa Rican Hollyhock. I think I have to try that one
too.

Thanks for the plug, Marilyn. For anyone who's interested in this cute little find, here is a link to some photos:

At one time, I had tried to interest Thompson & Morgan in this one, but it's not a real heavy seed producer and I guess wasn't amenable to mass marketing. However, Krystl seems to have coaxed enough seed from it to continue to offer it.. It's not as large, nor robust as many of the other types, but started early, will bloom the same year and generally reseeds.
