I planted this from a pot I had which I think I grew from seed last year. Can't for the life of me think what it is. Probably an easy one.. sorry!

i have a book to look at 1st does it have a perfume
Looks like a mallow, possibly Lavatera
Its not Lavatera as we already have one plus its not a shrub. Could be a mallow although I think the foliage is different. And no scent that I can really discern Ladyann!
Lavatera has more than one species and some are annuals. I'm sure it's that family, can we see the leaves please
In the sticks near Peterborough
Lavatera moschata alba I think.
Is that the same as Malva moschata alba?

Malva moschata alba could be right. Here is the foliage:
Yes, that looks right, the leaves are a bit variable,
