You grow all the plants that I love. Unfortunately the few Hollyhocks that I've got always seem to get rust on the leaves. Allen and Lars from The Perennial Garden channel have said it could be that the air isn't able to circulate. I must admit, I do tend to cram my plants in to save on weeding. Good on you for sowing seeds now. I never seem to have much success with Autumn sowings.
My Hollyhocks do get rust on them but I spray them to try to keep it under control, I do try to sow some seeds in Autumn but then also again in spring so they don't all flower at once.
