They both died
"They arrived yellow. I tried to save them. One died completely, and one started to come back, but then also died. Seemed to be diseased from the start unfortunately."
Everybody loves Hollyhocks--tall beauties that create tremendous color wherever they grow. They quickly create spires of flowers up to 5 or 6 feet. These old-fashioned plants are famous for being biennial which means they bloom their second year from seed. Hollyhocks are great for the back of the border, and also as a blooming screen for unsightly views or other things you'd like to hide with beautiful flowers all summer long.

"They arrived yellow. I tried to save them. One died completely, and one started to come back, but then also died. Seemed to be diseased from the start unfortunately."
"I have wanted hollyhocks for a long time, but was put off by knowing they don't bloom the first year. I found these wonderful Creme de Cassis plant starts on American Meadows website! The literature online says Creme de Cassis often blooms the first year. With this wonderful healthy plant starts, I'm very hopeful to see blooms this year. Thank you American Meadows for offering hollyhock starts!"
"I have ordered several times and more of the plants did not grow than did. Very disappointed. I will not be ordering from this company again"
"Second season buying one of these. They do not disappoint."
"Beautiful flower color as pictured."
"The plant is very healthy. It's what you expect in the first year of Hollyhocks. If the plant survives to next year, I'll reap the rewards."
"Healthy plant but arrived too late in the season for the Phoenix area."
"even with the odd weather we have had, it grew and produced, still is producing beautiful flowers, looks great in the garden."
"I think it might touch the sky. It just keeps growing and blooming."
"My Hollyhocks arrived in excellent condition. I immediately planted them and have been enjoying these tall and beautiful plants all summer. The only negative is that some bug seems to love eating the leaves, however the blooms remain fine and simply beautiful. Hollyhocks remind me of my grandmother's when I was a young child. I consider them heirloom plants."
