Hollyhocks Unfortunately, their association with outhouses may have given hollyhocks a “coarse” reputation when they really are highly spectacular plants which can grow to 9 feet tall. Although some are biennial rather than perennial, the former often self-sow heavily enough to seem perennial. A thread in the Texas Gardening forum, titled Any one in Texas grow Hollyhocks?
Understanding the Context
The other hollyhocks had pink, fuchsia and magenta flowers. I identified two of them as Alcea rosea, the common hollyhock and Alcea setosa, also known as the bristly hollyhock. I also found out that Alcea rosea has many varieties of different colors: yellow, orange, red, white, purple. Those are on my list now!

Key Insights
I'm wanting to grow hollyhocks down the outside of the chicken run. Safe or unsafe? Post #7374568 Quote Catscan Lodi, United StatesDec 16, 2009 For hollyhocks that means if you plant seeds one year, the plants will grow, but not bloom untilt he following year, then go to seed. They will then reseed, and so will bloom again the the fourth year after the planting of the original seeds. Hollyhocks will cross pollinate and if you have several kinds you can't say with a certainty what color your new seedling will be.
