Found by Ewald Hugin, Freiburg.
The credits for the remarkable pretty gray green foliage go to Althaea officinalis. But it also looks like a Hollyhock. Dies back in winter, emerges in spring for a new long flowering season. The stems can reach a height of 250 cm. Bringing up new shoots every year the bush can get 250 cm across. Because it is a hybrid (Alcea x Althaea) it probably will not come true from seeds. Pretty!

This plant have been variously referred to Malva, Malva sylvestris, Alcea, Alcea × Althaea and Althaea × Alcea. The correct identity is unclear, but it seems fairly certain that they are not correctly placed in Malva. Grows to 2 meter. in zone 8 perennial. Blooms 8/9.
