It looks to me like a variety of Lavatera

Cheers, Maureen

I wondered about that, but the leaves don’t look good for geranium to me (and yes, I mean proper geraniums too!)

You’re welcome. Otherwise known as mallows, or tree mallows.

My lavatera is no more ……… but I do have different kinds of geraniums around the garden – with different-shaped leaves
Mike – yours looks like my ‘Johnson’s Blue’ but I have others with small pink flowers and small leaves, small purple flowers/small leaves, and small pale pink flowers with larger leaves – confusing huh?Cheers, Maureen
