I have a plant which has seeded itself in my garden. It is now over 7 feet tall, with purple flowers. (see photo attached)
Would anyone know what it is ?
Many thanks

Hi Maggie, It's some kind of Malva, mallow. Someone will recognise the variety
In the sticks near Peterborough
Looks a lot like the Malva mystic merlin, that were being given away by T&M last year.
Many thanks for the response nutcutlet,
That's brilliant fidgetbones, mystery solved
When it best time to prune ?
Cut it down when it has finished flowering.Mine didn't survive the winter. I don't think they are very long lived, but you may get them seeding around.
