Ooh I've been collecting seeds from various places where these grow wild and I had no idea they started short and got taller every year! Hopefully once I get a patch going they will look after themselves like yours do. The spot is an area that completely died back to bare ground during the heatwave so it's definitely hard ground! I'm going to throw everything at it and see what sticks in the way of survivors

Beautiful video. When you RECORD, turn your volume LOUDER... If recorded with your volume down to your level, we the viewer are UNABLE to turn our volume louder , because it was recorded too LOW to begin with, thus, not allowing us the viewers to adjust the volume on our end. This happens so much. Our ability to adjust the volume is taken away during the RECORDING stage. Makes it very hard and disappointing for those of us who may have trouble hearing to begin with. Thanks so much

Do you cut old flowered plants down and allow to grow a second year or do you remove them and let the seedlings grow for the second years blooms?
@gardenerscottageblakeney13163 жыл бұрын
Great question Chris . We cut them down and allow them to keep flowering. We often find the second year we get a shorter plant but multi stemmed with. Every year we lose some of the older hollyhock plants over winter so always have lots of young ones coming on.

@gardenerscottageblakeney13162 жыл бұрын
Sorry for slow reply. Hope your plant is doing well. Hollyhocks are biannuals so if the plant is very young it may not flower until next year. Be patient it will eventually flower and well worth the wait.

Thanks for this video. Do you do anything about the bugs on those leaves which I've found on mine which makes those spotted leaves. Also I don't know what I've done with my soil but the leaves on mine are huge and look like they're on drugs.haha I'm in Sydney Australia.
@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 Жыл бұрын
It sounds like the hollyhocks love your climate . We get rust on ours which is a type of mold I believe . We don't usually get any bugs on ours but we are in UK so a bug population is different to yours.

@@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 Yes I watched your video again and it could be rust as it looks like mine too. Weirdly I've watched other videos and they talk about Hollyhocks being a winter plant here. But I saved these and grew this during spring and it's still all alive (except for the flowers which I've just collected a million seeds from) and some grew high and the others are still short. I've noticed the ones that got full sun the whole day grew the biggest. Thanks for the vids.

Hi , great video, I have a hollyhock plant that last year snapped and never flowered, I cut it off low to the ground, then it sprouted 5 individual stems, they are now about 4 feet high with big leaves everywhere, I can see on the stems where the buds are forming but it looks like the leaves will be in the way?, I've never grown them before so I'm not familiar with it's growth habit, is that how they grow, the plant is also about 3 feet wide, any advice would be great

We didn't do any prep we just seeded the gravel with the hollyhock seeds and they came up . As long as you give them the right conditions they are very easy to grow in most of the UK. They like poor well drained soil, sunlight and shelter from strong winds

That’s a shame we are lucky as our winters are very mild . Definitely worth keeping some seed to sow in spring or summer . It must be harder to grow biannuals when you have bad winters . We had a long hard winter a couple of years ago where we had snow on the ground for about a week in May and amazingly the hollyhocks came through it although we did lose all our agapanthus in pots that year I think
