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