About 10 years ago my sister and I bought hollyhock seeds for the yard of a new house we moved into. We had filled all flower beds and veggie beds with mushroom compost and everything went crazy. Unfortunately the next year hollyhocks were coming up everywhere! We ended up treating them like weeds and, after several years, thought we were done with them. Last spring...one popped up! It is now gone, we didn't dare let it go to seed.
If mine looked like that, though, I might give one another chance.
