As I said, they are on their own, Some stems are at finish other stems are taking over and some are germinating. The will be there till the end. I am not so fond of doubles.farhan137 wrote:Hollyhocks are great and they seem to be blooming quite early for you. Mine still require 2 months.
Rafique, I normaly let them grow naturally, for mass effect I plant more densly.

I tried them year before last the dwarfs were worthless. A few years back i grew regular size and did not like them as they did not have the beauty of singles.Izhar wrote:In Karachi, i have seen them (dwarf double hollyhocks) blooming in a nursery...

Re: Annuals 2013
Thats amazing brig sb, i collected wallflower seeds from the yellow tall variety a few years ago and planted them but still they came out tall yellow again no change of traitMuhammad Arif Khan wrote:Blieve it or not.Tahir Khan wrote:Amazing brig sb, what was the source of the wallflower seeds, because the locally available wallflowers i grew were all yellow tall variety, although the packet said wallflower mixed dwarf
Year before last a friend gifted me 4 seedlings, they were all yellow, Last year I had enough of my own seed, there were a few rusty ones. this year I have thousands as borders and beds. To my surprise I have quite a feww red ones, white and mixed ones. I am segregating them in pots (red & white), a ply of genes.
They produce so much seed that I can provide to all member if desired.
Please do save seeds from the red and white ones for us

Sir, Plz save some seed for me as well, if possible. And look at the antirrhinum shaping up so well, never seen so healthy antirrhinum, before . Would love to see pictures when they bloom fully.
