HELP.....
What's causing this on my Hollyhocks leaves.?.
The plants are SO weak,but I'd like to know what's causing this for next year..
The three photo's show how these leaves are getting more and more weak by the day.
Thanks,
Harryo.

That is Rust, something to which Hollyhocks are very very prone. No cure unfortunately.

Hi Owdboggy,
Many thanks for you're advice with regards my Hollyhocks,forunately they are in a side corner of my rear garden so no one can actually see them as such.But they do look really poorly
Kind regards.Harry.

Hi Janey,
I've been told that the problem with my Hollyhocks are 'RUST' which has no cure,it's a shame,as I've brought them from seed.
Kind Regards.
Harry.

I have had Hollyhock with rust for years I just remove the affected leaves as it does not stop them flowering. The new type are more rust resistant.
