[Palmlin]

Hi Forum Fam,

Can anyone tell me what's her name? Thanks in advance.

Palmlin

It's one of the Mallow family Palmlin.

Probably a hollyhock and it's name is Pat, or Terry, or Bobby, or any other name appropriate for a hermaphrodite.

Yes, a mallow, of the Malvas family.

Thank you all for your contributions. It is indeed Mallow, but often mistaken for Hollyhock according to what I read, cpp gardener.

This seems to be a form of Zebra High Mallow (Malva sylvestris 'Zebrina'), which is an annual or short-lived perennial seed strain, quite phenotypically variable. However the plant in the OP is particularly exceptional with regards to its densly crinkled (rugose) leaves and full, deep purple flowers. I do hope seeds of this plant were saved.
