Most gardeners would like to have a hollyhock in the garden but most varieties are very prone to rust - a fungus which makes the leaves look horrendous. This hollyhock is supposedly rust resistant.
This tall herbaceous perennial plant must have a sunny site. It prefers well-drained and moderately fertile soil. If it is positioned in an exposed site, you will need to stake it.
This plant can be propagated from seed.
For best flowering year to year, remove faded blooms and cut back to six inches in the autumn.
