They look like suckers from the roots of a nearby tree or one that has been felled recently. Look around and you’ll probably find a tree with similar leaves somewhere in the vicinity. Regular mowing of the lawn will prevent them from causing a problem.
You could treat them with individual ‘dabs’ of a glyphosate gel but bear in mind that these suckers are still connected to the roots of the ‘parent’ tree so any weed killer will affect it too. 🙂
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
the smell of all the Clerodendrums is strong and distinctive. go and squeeze a leaf and have a snuff. My neighbour says it smells of peanuts, I can see what she means but it's not quite peanuts

The flowers smell divine.
