Mallow (likely Common Mallow)
Malva neglecta (or similar Malva species like Malva sylvestris)
Mallow plants typically have round to heart-shaped leaves that are lobed or toothed and arranged alternately on the stem. The leaves are often somewhat crinkled or puckered, as seen in the image, and can have a slightly hairy texture. They generally grow as low-lying, branching plants or sometimes more upright depending on the species.

Mallow is a hardy plant that thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. It is quite drought-tolerant once established and does not require extensive fertilization. It can be quite vigorous and self-seed readily, often considered a weed in gardens. If grown intentionally, regular watering during dry spells and occasional removal of spent flowers can be beneficial.
