This is very bushy, about 3ft tall, very rough leaves, dandelion like flowers. It has masses of buds!

    I was just going to say Bristly Ox-tongue 
    http://wildflowerfinder.org.uk/Flowers/O/Oxtongue(Bristly)/Oxtongue(Bristly).htm 

    but I see Nut has beaten me to it.  What a splendid specimen  :open_mouth:

    Did you get some topsoil for that raised bed?  Hope you didn't pay a lot for it.  :/

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

    Thankyou very much. It was amongst some teasel plants I got from someone. Raised bed was already here when we moved in. Thanks for your help
