Kathy, None of my hollyhocks came back this year. I was in the hospital most of last summer and family members kept things watered for me, but by the time I came home things were dying back. I didn't think to look for them at that point. I had those Nigra for at least five years and some fancier ones for about three years. I am going to try to replace them a little at a time. I don't know anything about starting them from seeds as a general rule, although that's where my fancier ones came from if I remember correctly. Here's a picture of my favorite Peaches and Dreams.
