In addition to the sunflower and coreopsis seeds I mentioned in my earlier post, I have an abundance of hollyhock seeds from my garden if anyone's interested. They are prone to 'rust' but the one's I have grew to a magnificent size and produced gorgeous lemon-tinged white flowers.
The bees also love them. I think the rust was mainly due to the very mild and wet winter we had last winter/spring and you can protect against this to an extent by wrapping the growing/lower leaves in fleece to protect against rain splash.
I just cut off the the affected leaves when they got really bad as the plants were worth keeping for the wonderful display they gave.
