MEGS reply:
p.k. don't fret. From what I was told by a woman who was
growing Hollyhocks like crazy (and I got
seeds from her..) she said that they took 2 years to
flower. The first year, they grow thier green.. the 2nd year, they
flower. Prolific reseeder. The wind blew
seeds everywhere, she even ended up with
Hollyhocks out in the backyard, where she didn't
plant any. LOL.
I did a search, and found this page-
Hortiscope, questions on hollyhocks. Bill may have more info available as well, but I didn't find it.
