Garden Notes
A Hollyhock growing in the Root & Brass garden. Tall flower spikes make it a strong cottage-garden and historic-house plant, especially along fences, walls, and the backs of borders.
Seasonal Record
2026 Planted Hollyhock back in 2019 from a rooted plant from Walmart. Since then I have moved them several times and collected seeds and spread them throughout the property.
