This plant grows well in the shade of a maple where other plants have trouble surviving. The blooms aren't particularly interesting. For me, it is just a "filler" plant. I think it is also called Chalice. It resents transplanting.

I grew this plant from seed. It germinated well and tolerated being in various pots last summer as it grew. In the fall, I planted it at its current location. It has done well despite a brush with a water line installation ditch. It started blooming in late June. Has evidence of leaf miners, but otherwise looks healthy.

This has proved to be a very tenacious plant for me. I have not given it the best care but it still grows on.
If you like hollyhocks, but they are a martyr to rust, try this quiet beauty
