In a 1782 Garden Book entry Thomas Jefferson composed a chart of "a Calendar of the bloom of flowers" that showed his Monticello Hollyhocks flowering from mid-June through July. Hollyhocks are currently naturalized at Monticello in the Vegetable Garden, and are possibly descendents of those plants Jefferson observed in 1782.
Visit Monticello’s Online Shop to check for seeds or plants of Hollyhock.
