msqingxiao I'd be interested to know if you're able to collect seed from your double pinks. They look very similar to what I have (also purchased from a big box retailer). All the flowers on mine fell off completely, seed pod and all, one by one as the flowers faded, so the seeds were not able to ripen. I'm curious if that was a function of my climate or if that is typical for the doubles.
@Jenny_Aster You know we're going to need photos once they get going!
I managed to collect quite a lot of seeds from my hollyhocks last weekend, the double pink, double yellow, double white, single apricot/cream coloured ones.
Don't know whether the seeds will come true though. If anyone would like to have a try at the seeds please let me know and I can post to you
Hello, I love having hollyhocks in my garden, but don't have any of these ones in your photos so would love some seeds if you have any left? Can I send you a large stamped addressed envelope? Kathy in Enfield
