Rust on hollyhocks is caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia malvacearum and impacts hollyhock leaves and stems. This fungus first appears on leaves as yellow, circular spots about 1/8 inch wide. These yellow spots enlarge and swellings develop on leaf undersides.
The fungal pathogen that causes anthracnose typically occurs in moist, humid weather and causes black, red or tan spots to appear on the leaves. As the disease progresses, the infected foliage will yellow, wilt and fall from the hollyhock. Anthracnose also results in black cankers appearing on the stems of hollyhocks.
