    I have not been able to find any help with an id on this plant! Please help I would like to know what it is and if it it worth keeping. My local Master Gardeners could not tell me! Anything anyone can tell me would be great!! The leaves are soft and fuzzy.

    It reminds me of a Tolmeia(sp?), the houseplant that has 'piggyback' babies (growing from the tops of leaves), but I don't see actual evidence of that here, plus your plant's outdoors - though where you live it might be hardy enough.

    Thanks for your help!
    I looked up lavatera, it's foliage does look alot like some of the pictures that I found. It has not bloomed this year, although that may be because my husband cut it down to the ground in the early spring thinking it was dead.
