I didn’t plant it. I did water it last year when it was just a few random leaves though

    Huh, I thought those were weeds and had been getting rid of them before they bloom.

    I googled it and apparently they only bloom the second year

      A weed is just a plant you don’t want, unless your jurisdiction has a list of “noxious weeds”.

      Dandelions aren’t sprayed for in our city anymore, so neighbors also can’t complain if yours are “out of hand”, they aren’t a weed, they’re a cool little plant, but others will say they are weeds.

      Hollyhocks are actually biennials (or short-lived perennials) which is why they only bloom in the second year, but they self-seed like crazy so once you have em in your garden, you’ll probably have them forever unless you activly remove them.
