Comments (43)I too have not had luck with Hollyhocks. I had a great first year from seeds (so great I have tried stubbornly to duplicate it) but then all ensuing years have produced nothing but stunted plants with yellow leaves and buds that are kind of moldy looking that also sometimes have some kind of mite like creature and hardly bloom - I have assumed that it was some kind of fungal condition so this year I transplanted last year's seedlings out in the alley where they would get more air and not be as contained as they are in my small fenced yard. Same thing. Should I start again with new seeds - is it genetic or just this environment? (humid summers and 6 hours of afternoon sun?)...See MoreDeep south iris experiment,
Comments (4)Mari, I too am a crazy Southerner. I have done a good bit of research on strategies to grow bearded iris in the southern regions and compiled all the info on a webpage. Here's the link: http://eveysblissfulgarden.com You might find some information there that is useful in your quest. I'm on and off sporadically for the time being because of Gustav aftermath. I'm in Baton Rouge... our power was restored after 10 days without (and no generator either!), but we keep having brownouts as they try to bring more and more people on, so I tend to leave the computer off to avoid surges right now. If you need more info, just send me a message and I'll respond. Ev =)...See MoreUPDATE: update: mnf: waiting for spring #3
