Sidalcea (miniature hollyhock) zone 4
 

Have any gardeners successfully grown sidalcea in zone 4? Cut back and
mulch heavily? any tips?

Thanks
Karen

One of my worst gardening mistakes was bringing these into the cultivated
garden. They have woody roots that make them miserable to dig out,
self-seed worse than rats and will "eat" an entire garden area in 2 years.
Don't grow 'em -- even in pots -- unless you have a huge wild area that you
simply want to fill in. Count on it, they will! I even had one of the
more -- supposedly -- restrained cultivars, "Party Girl."
