Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Grown this year from seed.  My neighbour says she can't remember what she sowed and other people threw the packets away.  My first thought was Pelargonium but I don't think you can buy seeds, can you?  Anyway, please can anyone help?

    It might be one of the Malvas. What are the leaves like?

    You can grow pelagoniums from seed, their leaf smell is distinctive



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    I think nut is right - maybe musk mallow.  I asked a similar question a few years ago when I first joined - in my case the seed was in a 'bee' or 'wild' flower mix.  Mine is a short-lived perennial and also self-seeds, so I still have it. image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • Just been looking at musk mallow, I think you are both right.  Thank you so much.  I'll still go and have a look tomorrow just to make sure. image
