Mystery flower, help needed please

[Chiaroscuro]

Hi All

First post here and I'm showing my terrible ignorance of plants, but I'm sure someone here will be able to help.

I bought this flower from a selection labelled 'Hardy Perrenials', but it had no label and the man working in the shop didn't know what it was either.

I wondered if it could be a type of Lavatera but having searched various site it's the foliage that's making me think it might not be.

Here are a couple of photos:

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi

It is Malva moschata f. alba.

The pink form is often seen growing wild and is considered a weed in my area. The white form is a lot more desirable. Nice find!
