    Definitely not a pulmonaria! Possibly some kind of foxglove.

    I think it’s Verbascum thapsus.  Can grow to 2ms.

    Is it desirous or a weed?

    Usually Verbascum has grey furry leaves but perhaps there’s a variety that doesn’t.
    maybe wait till it flowers, soon see then.
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    It strikes me as the sort of thing that, once it flowers, just dies. (No idea why l think that, but l do). If you can hang on until it flowers, which looks like any day now, l am sure there'll be someone along with a positive i.d.

    Could it be Comfrey?

    Nicotiniana sylvestris?


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    From time Nicotiana tabacum sprouted in my garden (now it's a bit overcultivated so it is unlikely it will ever again), and it looked just like this!

    My plant has one central flower spike (although no obvious buds or flowers) that has grown from almost nothing to this nearly a metre tall in a few weeks. The flowers of the nicotiana which I grew last year are from several areas of the plant not concentrated on one spike. The leaves were silvery and furry during the winter and quite thick and leathery. Only now has the 'fur' diminished and the leaf become more leaf-like but huge. When the plant first appeared during the winter/autumn last year it lay flat on the ground and looked similar to a pulmonaria blue ensign nearby. In looking it up under pulmonaria on-line it fit the bill and Lungwort its common name seemed appropriate. Now it has changed.
