Ooh, I'm all excited. Every time I check my email I get another taker for the Hollyhock seeds. I'm so glad. I always have so many seeds left over and I just hate to throw them away. They should be dry in another couple weeks so look for your care packages then! (OmegaMom - yes, I do have yellow.)
And, this is for you Ellen. Okay so you've got a yard the size of a postage stamp (you really need to send pictures of this... :-) So, regular Hollyhocks won't work but miniature ones will.
Sometimes called Mallow and other times Malva, these little gals are bright August bloomers that reach 2-4 feet high. Bumblebees love 'em and you might, too!

We had those little purple mallows in our garden in Flagstaff; they're lovely.
I love the Zebrinas; they make me think of ice cream with boysenberry syrup. Yum!
I am wanting to use my miniature hollyhock for my daughters 4-H project, can you help me with the name so I can do some research for her project. I have pictures if you have an e-mail address I could send them to, I received starts from my husbands grandma and just not sure on the actual name. Thanks, Jennifer
Hi, Jennifer;
I'd be happy to help. Just send me a note to kate dot miller 57 at gmail dot com :)
