Speechless Sunday (almost!): I'll see ya. Wanda Kubat-Nerdin Southern Utah REALTOR

Known as Alcea ~ Better known as the Hollyhock. Pronounced Al see uh.

I'll see ya along the roadways, in a field among wildflowers and in sporadic clusters spread hither and yon. And smile big knowing I'll see ya vibrant beauty again next season and the one after and after that...!

.......................................................

Hollyhocks are a hardy flowering plant that can grow to heights over 11 feet, is drought resistant and begins to bloom in the Spring and continues through the Summer months well into Fall. The crepe paper-like flowers are round, saucer size, and come in a variety of colors including: red, dark purple, bright and pale pink, yellow and white.

Happy Sunday, I'll see ya!

One advantage of living in your part of the world is that it is mild temps all year round and that the sun shines and gives you beautiful flowers year round as well.

Hi Eanda

a great feature of Hollyhocks is the very up keep.  We enjoy them Albuquerque and not having to keep them watered yet they provide lasting bright color.

Soon the Hollyhocks will give way to winter. But it's nice to know that they'll be back in the spring time. Enjoy them while you can Wanda.

Wanda, Hollyhocks are long gone in our neck of the woods, and in Southern Ontario, the tallest you will see them is almost 8 feet (perhaps taller if started indoors or in a greenhouse).

John, They are a nice corner accent for properties and grow virtually on their own!

You're welcome wendy!

Craig, I do look forward to them just 'showing up' every year and they stay around for a while!

Chris, We have the pale pink variety in our yard and this red one is just off the highway, still blooming away!

Wanda,

Your photo of the vivid red hollyhock is quite beautiful! I have never tried to grow one;  because of you, I'd like to give it a try!

Thanks for inspiring me!
