its highly toxic and poison to dogs
introduced from China
the tallest hollyhock record was 24 feet and 3 inches“Hollyhocks were often planted next to outhouses long ago. Why, you ask? So that in the event visitors came calling, a lady need not announce in front of everyone her need to use the privy. (Toilet) As the hollyhocks were next to the outhouse, one merely asked where the hollyhocks were, and when pointed in the direction, did not need to reveal if she were going to admire the hollyhocks or do something else while there. Ah, such a lady-like gesture! So if you have an outhouse, be sure to plant a few next to it even just for fun.”-http://www.wuvie.net/hocktrivia.htm
