Any idea what this is?

« on: August 23, 2013, 09:08 »

It's growing right on the edge of our plot, and is a bit over a metre tall. Do I want to keep it?

Thanks.

looks like a mallow to me, pink or mauvey flowers - either the wild one or a garden escape.
Don't let those seeds go everywhere

although 1 or 2 may be nice, they do seed everywhere!

Hi MOS, Yes, I think you are probably right. Based on your link; I think I'll leave it there and treat it as a medicine cabinet. I'll keep an eye on the seeds though.
