Hi Kx1970,

I agree, that looks like a beautiful Hollyhock (Alcea). We have 2 pages of them listed in our database with photos and growing information: https://garden.org/plants/sear...

Beautiful hollyhocks, and Ellesmere Port is a beautiful place to grow them.

After it blooms, be sure to save the seed heads in a paper bag.
