And, finally, we've been able to find clematis companions for our Cardinal Rouge variety (on the left). Jackmanii (a deep purple) and Sealand Gem (a pinky apricot).

Creating a garden since 2003 out of an old orchard, a barley field and a building site on the windy coast of southern Andalucia, Spain. Welcome. I hope you enjoy my rambles and pictures and, hopefully, a bit of warmth if you're in cooler climes.

Your garden looks lovely! I imagine that hollyhocks need a fair bit of water, so good luck with it!
Hi Jan. I guess the relentless rain in Jan/Feb did it some good. We managed to fill 4x 1000L rainwater tanks, so the hollyhock will receive a lot of TLC.
Am off now to see what you're up to.
We grew holly hocks from English saved seed and they thrived, but of course their popular name is
'Spanish Lady'.
Rust disease can be a problem with hollyhocks so make sure to save seed for new plants.
Happy Easter
hi, please come see me for an announcement...
thanks for being a gardening friend! won't have time to garden this year
I love hollyhocks ~ it will be great to see them in bloom. The Clematis look beautiful against the gorgeous-coloured wall. What a treat it is to see your garden.
Thanks Colin and Carol for the tips. These were from seed last year, given by a friend.
Kate, lovely to see you again. I've been very lax this year with blogging and visiting others. However, energy rising now as it gets warmer....
