I have a very small alcea which I have been trying to mature in a small pot (3"d). It only ever has 3 leaves, approx 3" high. Every few weeks one leaf goes mottled, and this increases until the leaf curls up and dies off. Another leaf come up from below but this is recurring and the plant is not establishing itself. Is it rust? Is it something else? What do I do?

We bought and planted 5 Hollyhocks last year, they grew and flowered to an enormous size. This year only 2 are showing any signs of foliage at the moment. Have they done all they will or will we get a repeat of last years blooms. If they have now done all they will do, should I have taken cuttings or seeds from them to grow for this year or do I just have to buy new ones each year?
