Yes, its similar to Malllow (well the flowers are, to look at anyway) I think all varieties are edible except one which im fairly sure has white flowers, so worth looking up the name on tortoisetable website.

Nice shrub to grow and flower's are a fav, protect some from hard frost, as i lost one Hibiscus to a winter.

I brought several mallows, lavateria. £1.79 from home bargains, aldi etc I also brought a beautiful lilac one from a garden centre £12.00. All the cheap ones are doing well but the expensive one died during winter - think that one was more exposed as was in middle of area, rest were against fences, so perhaps this protected them a bit.
