Little cuties GramT.They really do look like malva.I wonder if the flowers get bigger the second year?

Thanks everyone … gonna be fun to watch them grow …

“E” ... they get 30-32” inches high according to the catalog. But in respect to a normal Hollyhook, that is pretty small. Mine are so little yet, be interesting to see if they get that tall.

I have never seen or heard of these before. They are truly neat. :) Are they delicate? What zone are they good for?

-- jroot

jroot ... I had never heard of them either, why I HAD to get them. When first planted they were a bit delicate, but now that they are blooming the stems have really shot up and seem quite sturdy. They are perennials in zones 3-9. I am most anxious to see just how big they will get and how well they will reseed for next year.

Thank you … they are cute. I’m enjoying watching them grow and now bloom. :-)

How tall are they supposed do to get? They look fairly tiny compared to the hosta.

-- jroot

Yes, they were when I took that photo. According to the catalog they will get 30-32 inches high. They have grown quite a bit … here is a current photo, taken today. And although they look quite delicate, they are not. The stems are very study for such a thin plant.
