Hollyhocks!
and before anyone says "Same to you" ;-p
Why do mine change colour every year? Last season, pink, season before purple, this year yellow. I dug them up 3 years ago but up they come again. I gave up the fight and let them grow where they want to. I like them............her indoors don't. |

Obviously coming up from seed and they won't come true from seed. My thoughts entirely as they are not perennial plants. Here's a story about hollyhocks. My elderly next door neighbour told me she really liked them as they gave her happy memories of childhood, but didn't have any. Later that year I saw some hollyhocks overhanging the path near where I work so I stole a few seeds from them. I grew 5 or 6 in pots until they were well established and when she and her husband were out of the house I planted them in her garden. She didn't notice that day, so when I saw her next day I said "you now have hollyhocks!" She was so thrilled you would have thought I'd given her the world. I can take or leave them myself. Tina |
