Thrupennybit, I can see how you might think that, but it's a Lavatera - the common name is Mallow.

Thanks Terra :)) I better remove the duplicates, you'd think I'd have the hang of it by now lol :)))))

Ahrr yes of course each time I try and grow one it topples over roots and all.

3d, if you cut it back quite hard, it should grow sturdier.

I've had Barnsley in the past, at different homes. I like this one - Perhaps it's time to add Barnsley's Baby to my current garden! ;D

This is a big plant to be called a baby - unless of course the nursery has put the wrong label in the pot - which isn't impossible, but not all that likely as it's only a very small independent place and not a huge commercial one :))
