    Tree mallow? pink flowers in June? I'd leave it but if you don't like it dig it out.

    It's not like the bushy Lavatera arborea I don't think fidget. Goes up very tall, straight and not much flower power. They just turned up here, Neighbour thinks they seeded from a variegated one he had.

    It's years ago but I still get the odd one turn up
