Description
Most hollyhock varieties originated in Asia. Historic Shogun used them on their official seals and in modern-day Japan, Kyoto hosts a hollyhock festival and a soccer club uses the flower as a symbol on its gear. In Europe, the theologian-botanist Albertus Magnus advised the condemned to use the plant as an antidote for the trial by fire commonly practiced in medieval times. It was praised as a cure-all for just about anything that ailed you and as a dye. It was one of the first plants imported to the New World.
