You beat me to it Toonia.
I think it's Malva Sylvestris - Common Mallow.
Lovely isn't it?

Quick draw McGraw me, pg!
Isn't the common mallow usually pink? This one looks like Zebrina, I sowed some this year and they're supposed to be stripy but a lot are plain purple.

Spot on, Toonia just googled it and its Malva Sylvestris Mauretanica, that must be a record for a speedy, accurate reply! Thank you ;D

I knew that! But I'm surrounded by small children (help me...) so I'm not allowed near a computer. Must be self sown. Very pretty though. Have you ever grown Musk Mallow? That's pale and pretty too.
