Identify plant please?
Hi guys, I need your help please but, before I do that may I wish you all the best for 2019 and may you and your families enjoy good health and happiness and have fun gardening next year.
My request to you is to identify the plant in the image above. Some background to how this plant got into my garden. I was fortunate enough to be able to collect a lot of free peat/compost from one of the local plant nurseries which ship plug plants to the UK each year. Each year they tip out all the old compost into a skip which they have to pay to have dumped as the local authority make a charge to do so hence, they are happy for anyone to take as much as they want , which I do, however, included in the peat/compost are lost of tiny plug plants which have not been sold but dumped.
The plants in the image are whats shot up since I placed a barrow load of peat onto the small patch of ground at the back of my house early summer 2018 and I would be interested to know what they are with a mind to transplanting them elsewhere in the garden should they grow into something nice. Or is it a weed?
Many Thanks for your help and once again Happy New year to you.
Regards

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I may move them to a planter at the front of the house in that case. Would they transplant okay given that one has a flower on it now?
Many Thanks

Though I may be wrong to the exact named variety, the shape and shade and veins on the leaves look very similar to ours. Are the flowers very strongly scented?
They make a lovely little posy with a few long stemmed leaves around them, just right for a miniature jam jar.
I think they are the type the (Victorian?) flower sellers used to use as they tie into nice little bunches with the large thick leaves. Even the leaves have a vaguely nice smell to them too.
What a great way to get new plants, as long as you can find out what you are growing, fun too
Happy Gardening and New year to you too
Thank you once again
