I can send you seeds. I have ‘em in all colors. They thrive on neglect!
I’m not ready for them. I am trying to hold off on most plants until I have old sheds and coops torn down and have a better idea where I want a garden and flower beds. I’ll keep that in mind as a source for seeds! I do want a pretty yard but at the moment, l have no idea on arrangements until some very ugly crappy stuff is gone!

I grow them and this year DD dug some flowers up in my yard and she has a hollyhock that bloomed and even took a picture of it. All the years she lived here, she never looked at the hollyhocks or liked them, but she has changed her mind. LOL

if she ever gets a large patch of them that needs to be weeded in the fall she may change her mind, but if it does come down to it remind her that she really wants to wear long sleeves and a tight collar and a hat to keep the chaff out. they have very rough chaffed seeds and dust that is really really itchy if you get it down your back or neck. just typing that made me itchy all over from the memories...
