Name That Plant!

Pink Flower

14 years ago

I found this growing free in my friend's yard. She has no idea what the name is. I brought it home and stuck 3 to 4 plants in a pot since I wasn't sure what growing conditions it prefers or if it is an invasive weed. Some of hers are 5 to 6 feet tall and she commented that they reproduce rapidly.

Any ideas? Comments?

TIA,

It reminds me of a zebra mallow.

Yes, definitely some type of Hollyhock.

Malva sylvestris(French Hollyhock) probably the cultivar 'Zebrina'.
