Anyone know what plant this is. It started growing between my fusias at the beginning of the year and kept growing. Not show any sigh of flowering yet.

Expect its just a weed but looks quite nice for a weed.

    That's a nice strong foxglove, it will be lovely when it flowers - May/June ? Be careful though, it's poisonous (deadly nightshade).

    The leaves are much too big , soft and upright to be a Primrose..

    Interesting you should say that. I had moved some primrose from the main beds and planted them close by ready for next spring. To begin with did wonder whether it was on of those gone wild / rampant / mutated.

    i too, pot them on and i donate a good number to my local animal charity shop. i do the same with self-sown borage as well..:rotfl:. Both of these attract bees so well, that I just love them, but they can be invasive!
