Oh, can either of you confirm, or deny, hollyhocks for our SW area? I have the perfect spot for them alongside my sheet metal barn building. I know the metal will radiate heat in the summer, but they won't get full day sun... Mostly afternoon sun in summer. About 6 hours since the days are long. Are they critter resistant? Funny question, I know, as nothing is safe from the critters. I don't mind a 2-3 ft wire protection barrier since they grow so tall. Just thought I'd ask before making the purchase. I think the hollyhocks will look lovely.
