I know I ought to know and I'm looking at the tall stems and thinking Euphorbbia or lilies - somebody is going to give you the right answer and |I'm gouing to kick myself for not being sure!
There you are - I knew somebody would know. Lysimachia is almost certainly it - it came to me in the middle of the night! It will form a nice solid clump of dullish dark green leaves with spikes of bright yellow flowers. It's what I think of an essential "filler" plant and if it spreads a bit it is easy enough to lift and tame. Otherwise known as yellow loosestrife.

I'd put 50p on Euphorbia too

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Thank you, well I suppose we'll find out soon enough!
A friend has suggested lysimachia? I've never grown it, have either of you seen it sprouting?
I think your friend is right, it is one of the Lysimachias, tends to be quite invasive.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Brill, thank you - I'll keep my eye on this thug!
Is the green part on the furthest right of the photo definitely the same plant?
If I found that in my garden I would think Willowherb with something else stuck in the roots but maybe I have the scale wrong...
