    Maybe Sidalcea Elsie Heugh but more likely Linaria purpurea Canon J Went.
    Rutland, England

    It looks like Linaria, Toadflax.

    Linaria Canon Went - easy from seed but does self-seed everywhere.
    I have the usual blue variety too.
    Lovely plants
    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Thanks Pete. Bought my packet of Canon Went last night. Can’t wait. So so pretty.

    I have them in my garden.Grown by seed and flowering for ages now already. They took about 2 years to get to a decent size though
