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.
Rust is caused by a fungal disease that creates brown-, orange- or rust-colored dots or pustules to appear on the hollyhock foliage. If not treated, rust results in wilted and discolored leaves that fall from the hollyhock. Splashing water and wind easily spread the fungus from one plant to another.
