What about putting a "Wanted" post on the seed or plant exchange forum? That's where I've gotten my hollyhock seed. Can't tell just what they'll look like when they are blooming, though. Right now their just cozied up in their little containers waiting 'til they decide it's time to sprout. I hope you have luck finding them. I love a pretty hollyhock, too.

I have some double burgundy if you're interested in them for postage (see my trade page for a picture-Alcea rosea). Someone also sent me some called "Show Stopping Red", which I had sown, but they haven't bloomed yet, so I don't know if they're red or not. I can't find any reference of that name on the internet. I have plenty left over to share. I also have plenty of "black" left over from last year/commercial purchase. I'd forgotten to sow those, but I'll be sowing some this year. You're more than welcome to them, along with anything else on my list, if you'd like to send a SASBE...

They have a lot of individual colors of single hollyhocks. Packets are $2.50 but I couldn't figure out how many seeds are in a packet. However, they have some auctions on eBay and there is says the hollyhock packet has 50+ seeds, so I would assume all packets are around 50 seeds.
