I have read teh reviews that these are not read but pinkish and am thrilled becasue that is what I'm looking for so I will be planting a lot of these as a borders eg 20 plants to try in my bulb bed.
What a disappointment, color not red but dusty rose, had limited flowers. Perhaps next year they will be better, provided they survive the winter. Suggested planting group together do not plant in individual places.
A freind of mine and I ordered these the miniature hollyhocks. They were advertised as rose-red flowers. Ours both bloomed out to be purple and died off soon after they bloomed. I would not recommend this product.
Although they are more pink that red - I love this little bloomer. It is totally loaded with blooms and has been for weeks. I sit in my garden in the evening with a glass of wine and a FAMILY of hummingbirds. I will plant it in more places next spring.
Tall from the start but unsturdy. And purple flowers? But pink, purple, or red, these flowers are pretty and came up their first year healthy. I recommend them unless you want a particularly colored garden.
My mini hollyhock grew very well into a nice plant and was very pretty by my front sidewalk. It was one of my favorite plants. That was until it was completely destroyed in a storm. I would have had no problem staking it, but the description & instructions says "need no staking!" Now there's a hole in my border for the rest of the season since every stem was ripped off at the base.
First, the description on this page has changed since I bought the plant- it was originally touted as red, with an image of red flowers. It is in no way red- the flowers are pink/purple as others have reported.
That said, I have this in containers, and it has come back pretty well, even after last year's brutal winter. I think if the plants were in the ground they would have been happy as can be. Overall, the plants grew well, and I got lots of blooms. So if you aren't picky about color, this is a fine plant.
