The seeds for this plant can be sown in Feburary indoors and planted out 1-2 before last frost. The flowers then grow in June to July at an incredibly quick rate. They perrenilize very well, if the flower stalk is cut off after the majority of the blossums have gone to seed. The foliage lasts well into fall. The leaves of mine are still on and are very bright green!

While it may be more resistant to rust, I
found that it seems to be more tasty to insects.
My Figleafs were almost lace before I checked on them,
assuming they were fine because the other varieties did well.
However, the Antwerp offers what I consider to be
antique colors. A romantic twist in the Hollyhock garden, if I may.
