My alba moschata was purchased as seed from one of the catalogs, so if I trust them, it is, in fact, moschata. My pink one arrived as a plant from a friend in Washington state, so I can't say for sure. I know that both plants do not look like a hollyhock or grow like a hollyhock. There is no main stem, but rather, branching stems from the bottom. Here's a photo of my white one, that was called White Perfection on my Vesey's seed packet.
