Have you just planted these? If so it's normally for them to wilt a bit sometimes. Looking green and healthy and the top leaves aren't droopy. All looking good to me
Yes I agree that you shouldn't expect the hollyhock to look great if you have just replanted it - they take a week or two to pick up after being moved. However I also agree that it would be sensible to cut off the dropping leaves as the plant needs all it's energy to re-establish roots rather than supporting too may leaves. My hollyhocks have been planted outside for a month or more and are now only just starting into growth by producing a few more leaves. What colour will the flowers be Luke?
I've just gone to have a look at them outside and the leaf have all come up so no more dropping oh god I actually can't remember shall have to wait and see what they come through as

Thank you. I did just move them from border that was to shallow thanks for your help!
I think I would cut off the older droopy leaves. It would look better and be less for the plant to support
In the sticks near Peterborough
Bottom leaf and left bottom with little bit of rust? Or are my eyes deceiving me?
