This must have come with my zinnia seeds because it is growing with them.

Lavatera, I've grown it from seed many times. Usually this shade of rose but there are sometimes white seeds mixed in. Save some seeds when it goes to seed and save it to sow on the ground next spring. I've started it early in the house before, only to have it peter out by the beginning of August. It is from the mallow family

Thanks. I Googled mallow and had decided that was probably correct. Have to do that for Lavatera too. Now I will have to save some seeds. It is a pretty little flower.

Definitely looks like a type of mallow to me. They can spread to the point of becoming a nuisance.

Mallow/ Rose of Sharon will definitely take over. But they can be beautiful if you can contain them!
