Seedling ID please

We planted seeds around 2 weeks about but binned the packet as I thought the OH wrote the tag out.
But for the live of me we can not remember what they are. We're sure it begins with the little E and perennial but we could be wrong.
They were bought from wilkos if that helps

Just wondering if anyone hazards a guess.

Those look like something in the mallow family.  Hollyhocks, maybe?

Thanks @BobTheGardener, I'm due to go back to wilkos next week as need to get some cleaning bits from there so I'll see if I can find the packet again

@Fire they're flowers, we haven't attempted to grow Veg yet. Waiting for the LO to get abit older before we start that.

I've just checked wilkos online and think these hollyhocks are the most likely:

Hi @BobTheGardener just found my receipt from wilkos... they're Malva Zebrinia. Just thought I'd let you know. From what I can tell/read in about 5 minutes. They're very similar to hollyhock as you suggested. Good shout on the hollyhock though Bob
