    I saw someone's house last year, I liked this flower, and I want to buy the seeds, but there seem to be many different names and it looks the same!
    My app Planet Net shows Malva trimestris, Malope trifida or Hibiscus moscheuto?

        The annual ones are especially showy and very easy.

          They are easy to grow. The white ones are lovely too. I collect seed and use it for next year's sowing.

            Something similar which I find a bit easier is Malope. You can sow them outside in autumn and they flower early summer.
