This is:
A potpourri (below) of old fashioned hollyhock/Alcea
rosea information as a supplement to other articles.
A plant-based page rather than our usual topic-based page. It's
a pivot point, one list of links to ours and
others' articles that involve hollyhock/Alcea rosea.
We're just introducing this set of perennial info pages. This
page is in process but Aster's
page is complete. We hope you'll take a look there and comment. Let
us know if the format was useful, share your suggestions, tell us
we shouldn't have this page at all... anything helps.

Right: Double hybrids (bearing flowers with extra petals)
come most often to mind when hollyhocks are
mentioned. They are the classic, old fashioned,
back-of-the-barn, in-the-alley flowers and it seems everyone grows
them sooner or later.

Note: Hollyhocks are frequently confused with their close
cousins, the also-vertical, longer lived, more freely seeding
mallows, including Malva alcea. (pictured below.) It's an
understandable error: This rose mallow's scientific name means the
mallow that looks like hollyhock.
