Is this rhubarb?

Does anyone know if this is rhubarb? I've looked at photos on Google but still can't tell!

Leaves are slightly furry if that helps!

Thanks in advance!

burdock maybe ?
underside of leaf is furry and a hollow stem (rhubarb is solid stem and not furry)

i certainly wouldn't risk eating it

No, that isn't rhubarb

Definitely not rhubarb.

A member of the mallow family. You'll get flowers, probably purple or pink.

Looks like a mallow to me. Can you post a pic of the flowers when they open?

Or white.

They're very pretty, and bees love them.

It could be a Hollyhock. Interesting to find out once it flowers

Thanks guys! This is my first garden so not quite figured everything out yet!

Will come back and post photos when it's flowered.
