No, it would be pure white - snow white. But with cut leaves like the
musk mallow - Malva moschata variant heterophylla. I'll sniff one next
time I see one and see if it is M. moschata.
Another alternative would be Malva alcea 'Alba'. There's also the hybrid
Malva x intermedia (alcea x moschata), and allegedly a hybrid Malva x
inodora (moschata x sylvestris).
At least some plants of Malva sylvestris are scented.
I don't know whether it's indigenous, feral or a cultivated plant. It's
not anything I've ever seen in a seed catalogue or a nursery.
Found one on a bank beside the road. Assuming the bank isn't cut again
till autumn, do you want some seeds?
