This is more of a garden flower than a weed, comonly passed around from community garden to community garden, though it has a habit of escaping and growing wherever it may, similar to its close cousin the Hollyhock, only smaller, thereby getting an easier foothold in small places. It is harder to find now that many of the small community gardens have been built upon.
