Palm-leaf Marshmallow, Hemp-leaved Hollyhock (Althaea cannabina)

Althaea cannabina

A tall slender plant in my area, with lovely pink blossoms. Foliage resembles pictures I've seen of cannabis. Good seed production and should make an interesting background planting.

Not a sterling photo of the foliage, but in October it is fading.
