I whined a few years back because I didn't have any red hollyhocks. While walking down our alley and seeing a neighbor up the way had oh so many hollyhocks that were red. I noticed some had seeded. It took a few years and I now have red hollyhocks. The plants were actually on an abandoned property that they are just now trying to get the roof repaired on that property and trees have been removed from the front yard. I think the guy who lives in a camper is planning to move into the house. It is a neat but rundown Victorian house on main street. I really like my red flowers.

Very pretty.
I have two little packets of seeds, but I do not know where planting them.
Beautiful! I have a red hollyhock blooming now as well,and my story as to how I attained it is almost identical to yours!
But I think yours is a richer red than mine. It is just lovely.
Those flowers will always bring back memories. I wish I knew someone with hollyhocks so I could pinch a few seeds.
They are delightful!
