This aint no hollyhock?!
Hello,
I always thought that this was a hollyhock but an image search shows me that although they have similar flowers, hollyhocks seem to be a single flower spike but this is like a small tree.
I see them around a lot at the moment and they seem quintessentially English and very nice... please could someone tell me what it is so i can go about getting one?
i apologise for the sideways pic - don't know how to rotate it.
thanks!

Lavatera arborea I've always known them as but probably name changed by now. Quite popular and should find one in flower at a GC..
Not sure about quintessentially English, I always think they look out of place in an English garden in winter, the leaves look all wrong to me.
