Growing beside the former toll house are beautiful hollyhocks. The hollyhock is a much loved traditional cottage garden and mixed border plants, it’s one of those plants which just about every gardener warms to. Growing 4 to 8 feet high, hollyhocks are particularly useful for background screening or where vertical accent is desired. They grow best in full sun in deep, rich, well drained soils.
