Re: hello
im not sure. their not like regular holly hocks. they are a bush that grows to 4-5ft. tall and have white flowers with pink stripes. the flower size is about the size of a dime, maybe just a bit larger. the foliage on the plant are pretty by themselves, the flower is pretty and just adds dimension to the plant.
