Prairie Mallow, Checker Mallow
(Sidalcea malviflora, Sidalcea x hybrida)
Sidalcea blooms from mid summer to autumn with small, hollyhock-like flowers on tall, narrow stems. Some people even call it a miniature hollyhock.
Sidalcea 'Rosanna' is advertised as being rosy red. But I think it looks like deep, purplish-pink. Hardy in zones 5-9.
