Sorry, I have found out this is a Lavatera many thanks, also sorry lavenderlux for getting your name crossed with my plant name, feel realy silly now  :-[

I stand corrected too Kingfisher. Much better to see its a Lavatera close up. ;)

Are you going to keep it? tis pretty, though as you probably know it can get rather large

Thankyou Star, if you fancy some seeds pm me and I could post you some .

Lavatera , sounds like a dodgy loo roll lol  ;)

Say it 'LAV ERR TER ERR'  makes it sound better, just a pity the plant is rubbish. It gets out of hand and spreads very quickly if not looked after.

My tips for looking  after it, is prune to the ground immediately, then dig up the root, and weedkill the area. ;D

As you may gather, not my favorite plant.
