Post a photo in July next year and make me jealous. The plant is great, I just can't grow it. It is an easy cottage garden plant, so they say. ;)

Althaea I think you mean or Hollyhock, I have a devil of a job with them. Six foot of rust usually and doubles are not good for bees, pretty though.
Sow outdoors in a shallow drill about 10 inches apart in June. If under glass as an annual sow in february.....but I have never had a decent plant.
