Another question from a neophyte perennial gardener.

I planted five hollyhock roots early this spring when I knew nothing about
perennials. ....

Jenny,

Hollyhocks sometimes don't bloom until their second season.
Yours may still bloom this season but if they don't just
leave them where they are and they will bloom next year.
Hollyhocks don't require much care. Just feed them every
couple of weeks as you do with your other plants.

Bill, I forgot to ask while ago as got waysided looking at your lovely
pics, but aren't Hollyhocks biennials? I forget.

Lee,

Yes they are but they re-seed quite easily. I have noticed
that a lot of places are advertising them as perennials
which really isn't correct.
