The Hollyhocks are not fareing well after the 10 inch rain on Monday. You can see them behind the Malvas. Any ideas? Hollyhocks and Malvas ( photo / image / picture from marikelley's Garden ) moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic
As long as the soil drains I'd just leave them be. They'll perk up once the sun comes out again. Ours are a sorry sight too after heavy rains, but they always spring back.
I agree! You wanna talk about hollyhocks?? Capt Kirk sent me some seeds 2 summers ago and they are MONSTERS!!! The biggest hollyhocks in my yard!! I'm an idiot when it comes to posting pictures, otherwise I'd be glad to post a photo to show them off. One is probably 4 feet tall and hasn't even sent up the bloom stalk yet! Just leaves! Big, beautiful, healthy looking leaves, almost as tall as I am!!!
Hey take the photos an put them on photobucket. I would love to guide you in you job . I wanna see them. Mine are about 3 feet tall an getting buds. Lots of them died.. b

You did it!!!! Yay! Good for you! And wow! That is some hollyhock... I'm so excited to see it - and you too!
Me too, db, me too. You both look smashing, stratsmom, but the "plant" to the left looks a bit cuddlier than then one to the right.
WOW, that Oregon weather must really agree with them. They never got that big and bushy here. Be sure to take some pics when they bloom!
WOW! What a awe inspiring hollyhock. They don't do too well for me, but have struggle through and I so enjoy their blooms. Yours is gorgous I'm green with envy and can't wait to see the photos when they bloom. From everyones!
