Flowering plant ID

Can anyone please help me identify this flowering plant.

The plant grows new from the ground every spring to a dense bush of multible stalks. This particular one was already established when my parents bought the house 45 years ago. It is in a full sun location, is non-invasive, and grows five or six feet.

We had thought it might be a type of hollyhock but have never been able to confirm this.

Thanks

 

This is certainly a plant from the mallow family, possibly a species from the genus Lavatera.

 

Probably Lavatera × clementii (hybrid L. thuringiaca × L. olbia), most of the shrubby garden lavateras belong to this hybrid.

Otherwise, check through here and see if anything matches:

nice plant/bush and i LOVE the flowers!

 

Thanks for the info. It does indeed look to be a mallow, and more specifically a type of musk mallow (Malva Moschata). In looking into it further seems there are a wide variety of colors, leaf shape, flowers and plant size.
