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.
Spring - start seeding and planting hollyhocks. For early flowers start annual hollyhocks indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seed in peat pots and keep at 15C. Don't exclude light- this aids seed germination. Transplant hollyhock seedlings or container grown plants to the garden flower border after the last frost.
