Rust on hollyhocks is caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia malvacearum and impacts hollyhock leaves and stems. This fungus first appears on leaves as yellow, circular spots about 1/8 inch wide. These yellow spots enlarge and swellings develop on leaf undersides.
Notice that the seed pods have holes in them. Inside the hollyhock seeds will also have holes in them. If you break open the seeds you'll find a number of weevils emerge. Seed collected from infected hollyhocks may contains hollyhock weevil larvae and eggs that will hatch indoors.
