Note the pink stamens in flower centers are the same colour as the petals!, unusual I thought - plus the "veining" on petals -- another name is Rose Mallow, but on the tag it states Silver Cup Lavatera (could be a better choice of name : ) in any event, they are beautiful pink flowers with a lovely sheen on them. Grew them years ago when we first moved here, forgot about them til this summer so planted these and we love them.
