Default Hollyhocks - Clay Soil and Rust Resistance

The message
from Stewart Robert Hinsley contains these words:

Hollyhocks are annuals, biennials or short-lived perennials.


From around 1944 until we left the house in 1950 there were several
hollyhock plants beside our porch. Plants, not a series of them. They
same colours in the same spots.

/snip/

I haven't succeeded in growing *any* hollyhocks in heavy, wet, clay,
including non-Ficifolia types.


I have offered Ollie's Mum some seeds from a hollyhock which I found
growing in heavy Norfolk soil - you could almost make pots with it.
