So lucky. I’ve been admiring hollyhocks this year and I promised myself I would plant them by next year. So gorgeous! What milkweed do you grow? I have butterfly milkweed. The native one is showy milkweed but it’s just not taking off in my garden
I just let the native one grow, I’m not actually sure what variety it is but I encourage it and spread the seeds around each fall. The hollyhocks tried to take over the whole garden this year, I had to pull some out, but those that are left are almost 3 feet tall already (the leaves, no flower spikes yet). We’ve been getting a lot of rain here.
