Buying hollyhocks is funny. The neighbor girl was wanting to help me when I was deadheading some of the hollyhocks I have over there and she asked about the seeds and then was proud as she spread the seeds around to plant them - over the 1/2" of seeds already on the ground ;)
I don't really have a cottage, this low maintenance and self seeding bed is the closest I have. There are cosmos,flax,monarda,helenium,black eyed susans in there.
