Mystery Bulb Plant: Possibly Hollyhock

A user planted unknown bulbs. First year produced a foot-tall spike; second year grew to 10 feet with large fuzzy pumpkin-like leaves from top to bottom, trunk base 3 inches diameter. No flowers mentioned.

Expert Answer: The description suggests hollyhock (link to Wikipedia provided). However, hollyhocks have striking flowers, which weren't mentioned. Identification is difficult without photos; user can email a picture to hortteacher@gmail.com for another attempt.
