    Looks to me like acanthus.   If your soil is poor they produce tall stems of hooded flowers but if not, all they do in my experience is produce loads of leaf and spread.

    Looks like acanthus to me too ... hedgehogs love to snuffle and lurk under clumps of acanthus, so good ground cover in wilder bits of the garden. image

    Thanks everyone, that does look like it.  Fingers crossed it flowers, we have very sandy soil so you never know !
