French Hollyhock

 

Because I am crazy a really good garden blogger friend. I went out into the dark and took this picture of my French hollyhock for Brenda to compare to her hollyhock. I know, I know, I have linked to her twice today. I am not a blog stalker, seriously. We won't know if we have the same thing until hers blooms. Can't wait to see what it is.

Ignore the orange under the hollyhock. We will remain calm and not question the actions of Monkeys. We do not need to know why there is an orange outside on the ground. There should only be one meltdown a week and I had mine yesterday.

Here is a picture of a French hollyhock from last summer.

Plant facts - French hollyhock or Malva sylvestris "Zebrina" In my zone (8a) it is a biennial. It grows to about four feet and is covered with those pretty striped flowers. It reseeds like crazy, but is easy to transplant and thin. We will have plenty to share at the spring seminar plant sale.

  4. Ah bien sur! Fromage! Tete a tete! I mean, I call my French hollyhock malva, and have not heard it called otherwise here in boring ole Michigan. I do love them, though, as well as the Alcea hollyhock.

  5. And, yes, it's nice not to have more than one meltdown per day, or even per week, if possible. :)

  8. Is the spring sale open to the public? Your hollyhocks are beautiful. I planted some last year; no blooms, but they are still green. Will plant more this years, as I adore them!
    Hey, can that kraut and sell it too; I haven't eaten home made saurkraut since my grandma died, it was sooo delish, not at all like the canned stuff!
