    I have a data base of all the plants in the garden but I don't know this is. Had it a couple of years and it has taken off this year. Very woody stems with white/peachy flowers, maybe two inches in diameter.
    Cheers.

    :scratch: It looks like Lavatera or one of the Malvas they are from the Malvacaceae family..

    They are very attractive.. Would be able to say for sure if could see a bloom..

      :blue thumb: Thanks Marley, yes it is Lavatera, I remember now. It was a Morrisons plant without a name, probably Barnsley, thanks again
