Hi Kashif
That's Lavatera arborea.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thank you. Googling this, i have read that it is a hardy annual, so it will flower and die in one year. Is that correct? I think it is too big a plant for all that to happen within 12 months.
There are quite a few different Lavateras. Some are annuals, some bi-ennial and some perennial. Lavatera arborea (English Tree Mallow) is a biennial.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thank you very much. Just ordered some perennials so can't wait to plant them.
